The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

The highest wisdom has but one science - the science of the whole - the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.

The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.

We are apt to run from one extreme into another. To anticipate & prevent disasterous contingencies would be the part of wisdom & patriotism.
