However if they don't want my advice they can always go get a "learning experience" for themselves!" »Paul. F. Meekin

I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort." »E. J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS Titanic

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience." »George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905
