cast of mind
 |
willingness to see the world with an endless sense of
curiosity and wonder. If you would be truly educated, you
must adopt this cast of mind. You must open yourself to
the richness of your everyday experience–to your own emotions,
to the movements of the heavens and the languages of birds,
to the privations and successes of people in other lands and
other times, to the artistry in the hands of the mechanic
and the typist and the child. There is no limit to the learning
that appears before us. It is enough to fill us
each day a thousand times over.
