    world.

Thus the rights of men are immense, and his greatest misfortune is to be unaware of them.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    The greatest happiness for the thinking person is to have explored the explorable and to venerate in equanimity that which cannot be explored.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
