We struggle between 1% of what we know and 1% of what we don't know, 
but rarely come across the 98% of what we don't know that we don't know.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries by A. E. Housman 

These, in the day when Heaven was falling, 
The hour when Earth's foundations fled, 
Followed their mercenary calling 
And took their wages and are dead. 

Their shoulders held the sky suspended; 
They stood, and the earth's foundations stay; 
What God abandoned, these defended, 
And saved the sum of things for pay.
