You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.

Robert Jordan
About This Quote

People often say that you can never know everything. Well, apparently, they don't realize that you can't know anything. Even if your understanding is correct, you may still be wrong. The only way to learn something is to learn it and risk being wrong.

That's what allows you to grow as a person and as a species. You keep learning and growing until the day comes when you will know everything. But until then, you should be comfortable with your understanding of the world around you and those around you.
