"The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.” — Elbert Hubbard

This quote was the late Steve Swan's favorite quote.  The first time he shared it with me, it became mine as well.  Educating ourselves in the craft we are in, is the most important thing we can do for ourselves and our profession.  We never stop learning or honing our skills as professionals in cleaning and restoration sciences.
