I came across a quote this week that caught my attention. It was “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
This, as I am sure many of you know, is a quote by Socrates. Socrates is a world renowned philosopher, and considered a very intelligent man. For him to say that the one thing he does know is that he knows nothing means a lot. As I thought more about this I thought about my own life. All of us at BYU are here to learn, to expand our knowledge, just as Socrates did a long time ago. The difference between him and us is that we have the gospel in our lives, so when we say we only know one thing, it isn't nothing. We know all about the gospel of Jesus Christ and His plan for us, and what a blessing that is! Not only to know something that Socrates did not, but to have the light in our lives that the gospel gives us. We all have a testimony of the gospel and can firmly say that we know it is true. I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many others that share that knowledge and belief.
