I REALLY like this quote. That Thomas Edison, he was a pretty smart guy to understand this. The more you learn about anything, the more you see you don't know. But that is not an excuse to stop learning!! Learning about and exploring this world is hard work at times, but it is worth it.
uncle dame: i love when people who know a lot are humble enough to tell us we don't know much at all. edison's one of em. of the quotes posted, eliot's and dr johnson's resonate most deeply with me. dr j's one of the most quotable men ever, i've found. ever read rasselais? if not, check it out on your next free saturday afternoon.
ps: brae's quote is great, too. pss: grandipop's going to love this blog if he ever sees it. it's really his kind of thing. and it's really a great idea for a blog.
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
