A Saturday Quote

An astute observation from the Renaissance scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642):

"Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new."
