Risk

I do not intend to take dangerous chances, both because I have no wish to get hurt and because a fall would stop my experimenting, which I would not like at all. The man who wishes to keep at the problem long enough to really learn anything positively must not take dangerous risks.

I'm as far away from my #birth as my birth is from the #Titanic sinking, the birth of the Republic of #China, #Arizona's admission to the #USA, the founding of the #GirlScouts, the opening of #Fenway Park, the founding of Universal Studios' predecessor, the US's purchase of #Alaska, the start of the first #Balkan War, and the deaths of #BramStoker and #WilburWright. #Wikipedia is a helluva drug.
