Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the
feelings of others before your own rights. - John Wooden
Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a
rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and
in cases where it does not fit, is pedantry ... To apply a rule with
natural ease, with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and
without ever letting the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the
action or the opportunities of the situation, is mastery. - George Polya
