gptkbp:famous_quote
|
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast.
The proper study of mankind is man.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed.
“ A little learning is a dangerous thing.”
“ Hope springs eternal in the human breast.”
“ To err is human, to forgive divine.”
