“Everything is vague to a degree you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise.”
Bertrand Russell
“Try and fail, but don't fail to try.”
Stephen Kaggwa
“I just took everything into my hands. I tried to sometimes be more precise, not go for angles, just put the ball in the court. I was really forcing her to do those mistakes. That actually worked out well today. Serving very good helped me to finish off the match easily.”
Nadia Petrova
“Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.”
Donald Rumsfeld
“America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.”
William S. Burroughs
“You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin, and even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.”
Henry David Thoreau
“If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.”
Victor Hugo
