You cannot take credit for your talents. It is what you do with them that counts.

My dear, I'm seldom sure of anything. Life at best is a precarious business, and we aren't told that difficult or painful things won't happen, just that it matters. It matters not just to us but to the entire universe.

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point. French. Pascal. The heart has its reasons, whereof reason knows nothing.

We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.

I'm apt to get drunk on words...Ontology: the word about the essence of things; the word about being.

We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.

you and I have good enough minds to know how very limited and finite they really are. The naked intellect is an extraordinarily inaccurate instrument.
