Thoughts For The Times
Probing the Depths
Do not think to get to the bottom of things; most likely they have not got
out. Only he who lias failed to perceive the immensity of the universe and the insignificance of man will dare to say . “ I know.” Ignorance is always dogmatic. Where knowledge is exact it is merely descriptive; it tells the “how,” but not the “why” of a process. We cannot know* all, but it does not follow we should remain wholly ignorant.
