Thought for the Day

– posted by meleti
I came across these two quotes today and thought how appropriate they are for those of us contributing to this bible study forum.

"What is the first business of one who studies philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for any one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows." - Epictetus


"Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing." - William James
