3-19-2015 Thought for the day....... "An old belief is like an old shoe. We so value its comfort that we fail to notice the hole in it." Robert Brault
3-20-2015 Thought for the day....... “There are an awful lot of scientists today who believe that before very long we shall have unraveled all the secrets of the universe. There will be no puzzles anymore. To me, it’d be really, really tragic because I think one of the most exciting things is this feeling of mystery, feeling of awe, the feeling of looking at a little live thing and being amazed by it and how it has emerged through these hundreds of years of evolution and there it is and it is perfect and why.” Jane Goodall
