There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

the way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock,

the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.

(Proverbs 30:18-19)

"Some deficiency must be forgiven all, because all are men; and more must be allowed to pass uncensured in the greater part of the world, because none can confer upon himself abilities....It is, however, reasonable, to have perfection in our eye, that we may always advance toward it."

(Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), "The Benefits of Human Society")
