More beautiful than all those things I desired to know is the modest mind that admits its own limitations.
Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: A hymn to humility in the pursuit of knowledge: it is not the urge to know everything that makes one wise, but the ability to acknowledge what one does not know. Origin: Inspired by a passage by Aurelius Augustine (Saint Augustine) from his work Confessiones, written circa 397–400 AD.
