Christy England-Siegerdt, Associate Director of Policy, Planning & Research at the Washington Higher Education sent in the following contribution for Parting Thoughts.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

~ Albert Einstein (1879-1955), theoretical physicist, philosopher and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics

Thanks for the apropos quote, Christy! To keep the theme going, here are a few more quotations from Dr. Einstein:

Information is not knowledge.

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
