I thought you would like this.

"We like to flatter ourselves with the false claim to a more noble motive; but in fact we can never, even by the strictest examination, completely plumb the depths of the secret incentives of our actions." Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)

We must never stop growing, our journey of self-discovery catalyzing the thirst for knowledge in all things. Keeping our minds open to new things and ideas is the key, so that knowledge is received with a questioning mind/spirit.

"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge." Daniel J Boorstein

Lastly, a poetic summation.

"We shall not cease from exploration . . And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started . . And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate.. " (T.S Elliot, Four Quarters)

Peace.
