Quotations for today

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. - Mahatma Gandhi
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates.

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. Farmers' Almanac, 1978
