I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

That which parents should take care of. . . is to distinguish between the wants of fancy, and those of nature.
If you were to insist I was a robot, you might not consider me capable of love in some mystic human sense, but you would not be able to distinguish my reactions from that which you would call love so what difference would it make?
In my opinion, the greatest single failure of American education is that students come away unable to distinguish between a symbol and the thing the symbol stands for.

The care of the critic should be to distinguish error from inability, faults of inexperience from defects of nature.
I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last.
Look at something like cooking. Now, you would hear a lot about smart kitchens and augmented kitchens. And what do those smart kitchens actually do? They police what's happening inside the kitchen.
