About This Quote

The sum of things to be known is inexhaustible, and however long we read, we shall never come to the end of our story. This quote shows that knowledge is never-ending. There are always more things for us to learn, there is always more to know. If you are in school or pursuing a degree in a field, studying for an exam is not enough. You should continue to learn and try to expand your knowledge until you graduate.
