“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”<\/p>\n

– Mohandas Ghandi\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The Human Abstract”<\/b><\/p>\n

Pity would be no more,
\nIf we did not make somebody Poor:
\nAnd Mercy no more could be,
\nIf all were as happy as we; <\/p>\n

And mutual fear brings peace;
\nTill the selfish loves increase.
\nThen Cruelty knits a snare,
\nAnd spreads his baits with care. <\/p>\n

He sits down with holy fears,
\nAnd waters the ground with tears:
\nThen Humility takes its root
\nUnderneath his foot. <\/p>\n

Soon spreads the dismal shade
\nOf Mystery over his head;
\nAnd the Catterpiller and Fly,
\nFeed on the Mystery. <\/p>\n

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
\nRuddy and sweet to eat;
\nAnd the Raven his nest has made
\nIn its thickest shade. <\/p>\n

The Gods of the earth and sea,
\nSought thro’ Nature to find this Tree
\nBut their search was all in vain:
\nThere grows one in the Human Brain <\/p>\n

– William Blake<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
