Quote of the Day

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was a pretty smart guy. He actually wrote a dictionary. Here's a thought expressed in an essay from The Adventurer:

"He that never compares his notions with
those of others, readily acquiesces in his
first thoughts, and very seldom discovers
the objections which may be raised against
his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks
himself in possession of truth, when he is
only fondling an error long since exploded."
