On How Wisdom is Knowing That You Don't Know

“Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing; no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.”
-Mark Twain, Eve’s Diary

Give it time, you’ll eventually know how much it is that you’ll never know.

You’ll then have taken the first halting steps toward wisdom.
