Fred, I have another quote that I use all the time, on the same theme. I think it was Will Durant who said "education is the progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
Pauline Assenza

Today once again offered evidence that we learn (i.e., find out) things in
odd ways. I subscribe to TFTD (thought for the day) and today's thought is
a quote from Daniel J. Boorstin. I didn't know he had passed away this year
and when I saw the lifespan dates behind his name, I felt a moment of
sadness. Then I was buoyed by the fact that he lived to be 90. Given that
this list ties to education, I thought I'd pass along today's TFTD.

you didn't know.
