One of the benefits of reading a lot of history is that you realize how many people who were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they were doing a lot of good were, in fact, doing a lot of harm.
Certainty is a hell of a drug. Certainty combined with fame/power is especially dangerous.

certainty is delusion. the world is too big and too complicated to be completely understood by our finite brains. to become absolutely certain, you have to exclude facts, to turn away from the fuller truth

At least there are trees.
When I was younger, I thought trees were a big stupid waste of time except insofar as they provide us with oxygen.
Now, when I am sad and on the edge of something worse than sad, I think, "At least there are trees."
