How Little We Understand


True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize
how little we understand about life,
ourselves, and the world around us.
- Socrates

From wonder into wonder existence opens.
- Lao Tzu

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore.
There is always something to make you wonder
in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
- Albert Schweitzer

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
- Albert Einstein

Wisdom begins in wonder.
- Socrates
