Piet Hein: "The Road to Wisdom"

"The Road to Wisdom"

 

The road to wisdom? — Well, it's plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.

 

--Piet Hein

 

Piet Hein (1905-1996) was a Danish mathematician, scientist, inventor, and poet, famous for his short, witty poems, which he called "Grooks."
