Splash du Jour: Monday

On Saturday, I wrote a bit about Sydney Smith, and showed a picture of him that I have on my wall. Well, since then I have been reading stuff about this guy, and certain things he has said are just too good to keep to myself.
So, all this week, I am going to be Splash-du-jouring several pithy witticisms from this great witmaster.

Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.
-- Sydney Smith (1771 – 1845)

Have a great Monday!
