This world is marked with the forgetfulness of all of its inhabitants and embroidered with the worthlessness of human wisdom within it. Every road has already been trampled upon by those that came before us. Any new thought, any new idea, is just a an old idea that has been recently forgotten so that it appears to be something new and fresh, 'original' even. However, that same thought or idea can be seen written more freshly and newly on the pages of ancient history.
No man has in himself anything new, apart from God.
