Jack’s Winning Words 6/29/17
“Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of knowledge.”  (Isaac Bashevis Singer) A little boy kept dipping a pail into the sea and running back to pour it into a hole.  “What are you doing?” someone asked.  “I’m emptying the ocean into this hole.” He replied.  Basically, that explains our quest for knowledge.  Do you want to know more, as I do?  The fact that the ocean is so vast doesn’t discourage me; it only intrigues me.  I will not give up my pail.     ;-)  Jack
