Thomas Henry Huxley (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” — Thomas Huxley
(The only problem with this is that your interests become so varied, that it becomes too hard to focus on the one something. I know I’ll never know everything about anything. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Definitely a 19th-century sentiment, Unc Rave, when an interested and well-rounded person could understand the latest in science, philosophy, art, etc. Still, Huxley’s epigram is a useful formula to prepare yourself for the average faculty-club cocktail party!
Maybe, in the 19th Century, “I coulda been a contender!” I *was* enjoying the Information Age, until more recently, but it has kind of overwhelmed this old boy. I’m still up there swinging! But, I don’t make contact as often as I used to. — YUR
