Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

"When someone is 55% right, that's very good and there's no use wrangling. And if someone is 60% right, it's wonderful, it's great luck, and let him thank God. But what's to be said about 75% right? Wise people say this is suspicious. Well, and what about 100% right? Whoever says he's 100% right is a fanatic, a thug, and the worst kind of rascal"

An Old Jew of Galicia

Quoted in The Captive Mind, by Czeslaw Milosz
