It is
unwise to be too sure
of
one's own wisdom.
It is
healthy to be reminded
that
the strongest might weaken
and
the wisest might err.
~ Mohandas K. Gandhi
The
beginning of wisdom is found in doubting;
by
doubting we come to the question,
and by
seeking we may come upon the truth.
~ Pierre Abelard
The
foolish man seeks
happiness in the distance,
the
wise grows it under his feet.
~ James Oppenheim

Better
to remain silent and be thought a fool
than
to speak out and remove all doubt.

*Two winged creatures were made of olive wood and
placed in the Holy of Holies, each one 4.4 metres tall. Both were of the same
size and shape. Each had two wings, each wing 2.2 metres long, so that the
distance from one wing tip to the other was 4.4. metres. They were placed side
by side in the Holy of Holies, so that two of their outstretched wings touched
each other in the middle of the room, and the other two wings touched the walls.
The two winged creatures were covered with gold. The walls of the main room and
of the inner room were all decorated with carved figures of winged creatures,
palm trees, and flowers... A double door made of olive wood was set in place at
the entrance of the Holy of Holies; the top of the doorway was a pointed arch.
The doors were decorated with carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees,
and flowers. The doors, the winged creatures, and the palm trees were covered
with gold. For the entrance to the main room a rectangular door-frame of olive
wood was made. There were two folding doors made of pine and decorated with
carved figures of winged creatures, palm trees, and flowers, which were evenly
covered with gold. (1 Kings 6: 23-35)
