The more one learns the more he understands his ignorance. I am simply an ignorant man, trying to lessen his ignorance. - Louis L'Amour

The more one learns, the more he understands his ignorance.

"From The Skull and the Arrow:

"The man went on until he saw the dark opening of a cave. He turned to it for shelter then, as men have always done. Though there are tents and wickiups, halls and palaces, in his direst need man always returns to the cave.

My folks built blood into the foundations of this country and I don't aim to see them torn down for no reason whatsoever.

There can be no living together without understanding, and understanding means compromise. Compromise is not a dirty word, it is the cornerstone of civilization, just as politics is the art of making civilization work. Men do not and cannot and hopefully will never think alike, hence each must yield a little in order to avoid war, to avoid bickering. Men and women meet together and adjust their differences, this is compromise. He who stands unyielding and immovable upon a principle is often a fool, and often bigoted, and usually left standing alone with his principle while other men adjust their differences and go on.
