We need to learn from one another. Of one thing I am certain: No single people, tradition, religion, governmental form, ethical program, moral code, or civilization has had sufficient wisdom and goodness to set the pattern and govern the world in the ways of peace, decency, and mutual respect. I do not believe God ever intended it to be that way. He wants us to reach out and learn from the wisdom he has given to humanity over broad sweeps of time and place and personality. . S. Michael Wilcox
About This Quote

The idea of teaching and learning from others is one of the basic tenets of human existence. The more we learn, the more we realize that there is so much more to know. We can never learn enough and we can never be wise enough to fulfill all of our potential.
