Wednesday: Man has forgotten his Origin; in vain He searches for the record of his race In ancient books or seeks with toil to gain From the deep cave, or rocks some primal trace … With mind bewildered, weak how should he know The Source Divine from whom his being springs?

Epes Sargent

Friday: To know that we know what we know and to know that we do not know what we do not know that is true knowledge … Nicolaus Copernicus

Saturday: Is the bridge that binds us built on money or friendship?
