Never be afraid to love, not even when there's a chance you're not being loved in return. Tom Robbins
The hidden and awful Wisdom which apportions the destinies of mankind is pleased so to humiliate and cast down the tender, good, and wise; and to set up the selfish, the foolish, or the wicked. Oh, be humble, my brother, in your prosperity! Be gentle with those who are less lucky, if not more deserving. Think, what right have you to be scornful, whose virtue is a deficiency of temptation, whose success may be a chance, whose rank may be an ancestor's accident, whose prosperity is very... William Makepeace Thackeray
A little wisdom is indeed possible; but this blessed security have I found in all things, that they prefer--to DANCE on the feet of chance. Friedrich Nietzsche

I might, by chance, write something just as shoddy; But then I wouldn't show it to everybody. Moliere
