[Vision2020] Revised Column on Portugal (a week into my trip)

[Nicholas Gier]

Greetings from Porto:

Named after the famous wine made here, and Port is right there in the name
of the country.

This version contains observations that I of course was not able to include
in the Daily News version last week.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend,

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they
shall never sit in.

-Greek proverb

“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance
from another. This immaturity is self- imposed when its cause lies not in
lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without
guidance from another. Sapere Aude! ‘Have courage to use your own
understand-ing!—that is the motto of enlightenment.

--Immanuel Kant
