“The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.”... Answer this, then post your own quote. No cheating!

No one knows my quote? It's actually a translation from French, which is a clue and might help: <br> <br> “L'enfer, c'est les autres” <br> <br> <br> Anyone? :)

Joseph Garcin, the character penned by Jean-Paul Sartre. <br> <br> Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Will Rodgers and offtopic Sartre was such a hypocrite <br> <br> <br> "The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."

Dumbass Dipsh*tler, who in the same context said, (if this translation is correct) 'the state must ensure that those who are sick or weak should not reproduce. At the same time, the state must do everything to see that “blessing of children does not become a curse.”' <br> <br> "Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."

Isn't this being attributed to Hitler? [falsely?]

@bondojoe I could be totally wrong, but I thought this came from Mein Kampf.

@bondojoe Like RB said, It's about learning, too, which I am. smiley And I also agree with her about that being half the fun! So, in digging, I was able to find the first part of that quote in that book I mentioned, but it looks like the second half is a fabrication, because what the actual sentence translates to is, “The state must insure that only those who are healthy have children.”

@captainhowdey I saw the first sentence of the quote in a translation of Mein Kampf and again in the rabbi's essay that starts out, "I have no intention of explaining how the correspondence which I now offer to the public fell into my hands." Referring to Hitler's supposed letter to Julius. In the letter, that first sentence is quoted from the book. I couldn't find reference to the second sentence. Probably gave up too soon. :)
