“A prolonged silence ensues. The reason for the silence is our growing interest one for the other. No one is aware of it, no one yet; no one? am I quite sure?”
“Someone has said,”Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one’s ignorance.”..No one has a corner on wisdom.

“Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.”
“My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.”
“Ignorance was just as dynamic as knowledge, and it grew in the same proportion.”
