Jim's Pond - Exploring the Universe of Ideas

"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quote O' the Friday

"Great as were the obstacles in the path of United States, the greatest obstacle of all was in the human mind. Down to the close of the eighteenth century no change had occurred in the world which warrented practicle men in assuming that great changes were to come."

-- Henry Adams, (writing about conditions in 1801)
