An education does not necessarily mean a person listens or keeps an open mind, but it sure helps. hahahah! I didn't post anything about Jefferson and Aristotle since I figured you all knew who they were. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. My husband Ivan is not doing well, since his recent surgery for cancer on that arm . His mind is not working to the best it can since his last stroke. So it takes almost constant care to look after him. I will continue to post these quote as time permits but hope you all understand. Thank s all for your friendship and understanding. Hugs Robritt

I have used this quote a few times, robritt, to which a few have provided excellent feedback and dialogue while a few have dubbed me an elitist snob (some of those jokingly; some not so much). I just like to think of myself as one who entertains as often as possible, because one can never bee too educated.

So true! Thanks for this. For me, this is a reminder to be open-minded and to listen even though I may not agree - or to read all types of work, realizing that I can "entertain the thoughts" without accepting them. :) A very nice quote!

Super quote. How are things going? I'm still praying.
