The purpose and cause of the incarnation was that He might illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it to the love of Himself.

Chess is a good way to learn, to keep your brain fit and the ego in check, a mental form of your local gymnasium. Those who see chess merely as a means of self-proof make the game experience uncomfortable and drive many of the better, more sensitive brains to analysis, correspondence, problems, studies and the like.

God considers not the action, but the spirit of the action.

The purpose and cause of the incarnation was that He might illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it to the love of Himself.

The key to wisdom is this - constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.

Be precise in the use of words and expect precision from others

In doubting we come to inquiry; by inquiry we perceive the truth.
