“I have heard it said that there are none too dumb for the AA program, but there are many who are too smart. Intelligence is not the real criteria that interferes for those who refuse to become a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Almost always it is a large ego that is unwilling to admit defeat.”
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
— Benjamin Franklin
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance----that principle is contempt prior to investigation.
