Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary sound of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
--Rabindra Nath Tagore, "Suffering and Hope"

An honest fool is alright. But a dishonest fool is terrible!

(In: "Surely, you are joking, Mr. Feynman!" WW Norton and Co, NY, 1985, page 284)

There are two kinds of fool - One says, "This is old, and therefore good." And one says, "This is new, and therefore better."
