Golden Oldie

If ignorance is bliss,
why aren't there more happy people?

Golden Oldie

in plumbing as a humble activity and
tolerates shoddiness in philosophy
because it is an exalted activity
will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy ...
neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
