Some Guiding Maxims

  • “Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves or we know where to find information on it.” (Samuel Johnson)

  • “Intelligence is not the ability to store information but the ability to find it.” (Albert Einstein)

  • “It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that gets us into trouble, it’s the things we do know that just ain’t so.” (Artemus Ward alias Charles Farrar Brown)

"The human landscape is our culture’s autobiography, reflecting our tastes, our values, our aspirations, and even our fears, in tangible, visible form. All our cultural warts and blemishes are there, and our glories too; but above all, our ordinary day-to-day qualities are exhibited for anybody who wants to find them and knows how to look for them."
