But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.Carl Sagan

How true. The world also laughed at the U.S. in the sixties when we said we would put a man on the moon. They are still laughing but now they may actually have something to laugh about.
Carl Sagan was a SAGE! This qoute proves it! ~ jb///
Dittos to LZ Blogger's comment! The man was brilliant.
It's been ten years since he died? I almost completely forgot he died. What a shame.
Nice quote.
Now, you have put a BIG smile on my face today, Mike!
Thank you for the enlighting thoughts.
By the way, I am a Bozo lover here!
And Carl Segan was an amazing man.
I too cannot believe 10 years have passed.
Big Sagan fan here, too!
I'm only too glad his wisdom was recorded for the ages.
