6/8

One of the reasons why mature people are apt to learn less than young people is that they are willing to risk less. Learning is a risky business, and they do not like failure.

7/8

La vita è l'arte di disegnare senza una gomma.

8/8

Dobbiamo accettare il fatto che la maggior parte degli uomini e delle donne là fuori sono più stantii di quanto credano, più annoiati di quanto vogliano ammettere.
