Small Mistakes Quotes

• You know, you can make a small mistake in language or etiquette in Britain, or you could when I was younger, and really be made to feel it, and it's the flick of a lash, but it would sting, and especially at school where there's not much privacy, and so on. You could, yes, undoubtedly be made to feel crushed.

• At the end of a criminal’s life, it’s always the small mistake, the coincidence, the lark. The time we got too comfortable, the time we slipped up, the time someone aimed a little to the left. I’ve heard Grandad’s war stories a thousand times. How they finally got Mo. How Mandy almost got away. How Charlie fell. Birth to grave, we know it’ll be us one day. Our tragedy is that we forget it might be someone else first.

• The discipline of programming is most like sorcery. Both use precise language to instruct inanimate objects to do our bidding. Small mistakes in programs or spells can lead to completely unforseen behavior: e.g., see the story, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". Neither study is easy: "...her [Galinda's] early appetite for sorcery had waned once she'd heard what a grind it was to learn spells and, worse, to understand them." from the book "Wicked" by G. Maguire.

• La diferencia entre el novato y el maestro es simplemente que el novato no ha aprendido, todavía, a hacer las cosas de tal manera que pueda permitirse cometer pequeños errores. El maestro sabe que la secuencia de sus acciones siempre le permitirá cubrir sus errores un poco más adelante. Es este conocimiento sencillo pero esencial el que confiere al trabajo de un maestro carpintero su maravillosa sencillez, suave, relajada y casi despreocupada.
