Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask Knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal.

A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one's self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself, gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.

Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
