About This Quote
Just like the quote above, this one says that you should seek to honor your loved ones and your country. But, it goes one step further. It says that if you are able to do so, you should also praise all the things in life that are beyond the usual science of science. The fact is, sometimes being able to understand or scientifically prove what something truly is is more important than the idea of it being beyond science. To quote Nelson Mandela again: “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.”
