To: Knitting A Conundrum
1776 is an amazing book, but John Adams was almost life-changing.
Anyway, at the very end of the book is a passage I thought you might appreciate, and, *sigh*, I'll type it out for you here. (I'm a really lousy typist... LOL).
Anyway..."You are not singular in your suspicions that you know but little," he [John Adams] had told [his granddaughter] Caroline, in response to her quandary over the riddles of life. "The longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know... Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough. ..."
