Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

Carl Sagan

An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains.

Danish proverb

If I can give you some kind of knowledge of life you should listen.
