Strive to Learn

All men should strive to learn before they die,
what they are running from, and to, and why.
- James Thurber

A good question is never answered.
It is not a bolt to be tightened into place
but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed
toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.
- John Ciardi

We tell lies when we are afraid...
afraid of what we don't know,
afraid of what others will think,
afraid of what will be found out about us.
But every time we tell a lie,
the thing that we fear grows stronger.
- Williams Tad

Re-examine all that you have been told...
dismiss that which insults your soul.
- Walt Whitman
