Lord Aberdeen was quite touched when I told him
I was so attached to the dear, dear Highlands and
missed the fine hills so much. There is a great
peculiarity about the Highlands and Highlanders;
and they are such a chivalrous, fine, active people.

An expert is someone who has made all the possible mistakes.
Looks very true but in some fields you will have to be an expert without making a mistake, an example is a nuclear firm. So I think we can rewrite it a little bit mathematically
An expert is someone who has made all the possible mistakes if and only if his/her field allows for mistakes
