Just A Thought ~ DISCOVERY

"The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually, we stand on an islet in the midst of a limitless ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land."

~ Thomas Henry Huxley, British Scientist and Educator, 1825 - 1895 ~

What a set-back Europe underwent during the Dark Ages, when, for a thousand years, almost nothing new was discovered or invented, and culture was at a standstill. Since Huxley's time, the opposite has been the case, with fantastic discoveries and advances being made virtually every day. What an exciting time to be alive, in spite of the dangers that threaten us all. Let us participate in it positively, if not by actually creating or discovering things ourselves, then at least by appreciating them for what they are. Those who appreciate things of benefit will hardly turn to destruction.
