Quote: We can be as honest as we are ignorant. If we are, when asked what is beyond the
horizon of the known, we must say that we do not know. We can tell the truth,
and we can enjoy the blessed freedom that the brave have won... We can fill our
lives with generous deeds, with loving words, with art and song, and all the
ecstasies of love. We can flood our years with sunshine -- with the divine
climate of kindness, and we can drain to the last drop the golden cup of joy.
Robert Green Ingersoll
