It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. – Epictetus, 55-135 A.D.,

 Greek Stoic Philosopher I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.

 I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has nevër been, but a has was once an are.

 – Milton Berle, 1908-2002, American Comedian known as "Uncle Miltie"
