"An English merchant was exploring an old country house he had just
inherited. Among the assorted items piled up in an unused room was a dusty
scroll. Upon unrolling and spreading it out, the merchant saw an original
painting by one of the great English artists of an earlier century. The
discovery was made because someone had been interested enough in exploring
and unrolling the unknown. Any time we become interested enough in
discovering the riches of the mind, we can do so."
