"Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.
Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be
human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more
productive person."

-- David M. Burns

"You don't understand anything until you learn it more than
one way."

"Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and
surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being
embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think
we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take
the risk."

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the
wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the
cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down
on a hot stove lid again -- and that is well; but also she
will never sit down on a cold one anymore."

-- Mark Twain

"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to
be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new
things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear
always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and
allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically,
make yourself a happier and more productive person."

-- Dr. David M. Burns

should first examine it and see whether it is not something
that could better be changed in ourselves."
