Show GregoryP.Jones, M.D. Very old photo of my family It is nothing but our personal weakness that makes us content with what others, or we ourselves, have discovered in chis hunt for knowledge; a man [or woman] of great ability will not be satisfied with it. There is always room for someone to improve on us; indeed, for us to improve on ourselves; and there is always a different road to follow. There is no end to our investigations; our end is in the other world. It is a sign of failing powers or of weariness when the mind is content. No generous spirit stays within itself; it constantly aspires and rises above its own strength. It leaps beyond its attainments. If it does not advance, and push forward, if it does not strengthen itself, and struggle with itself, it is only half alive. Its pursuits have no bounds or rules; its food is wonder, search, and ambiguity. --Michel de Montaigne, Essays, Book 3, Chapter 13 Thanks be to my God, my family, and my mentors. May I be more like them. --Greg Jones Thinking of a cogent question in Biochemistry 69 |
