Someday you can tell me about what happened on Day 9,448. I'll bet that was really something!

But it's the good we have done, the kindness we have shared, and the joy - regardless of how small - that we have bestowed on others that defines us.

"If you're not making mistakes, you're also not making progress".

Meaning: We must make mistakes in order to learn how to do it right.
