- Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless,
and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

all things in excess bring trouble to men.
- Human history becomes more and more a
race between education and catastrophe.
- I do not think much of a man who is
not wiser today than he was yesterday.

moral status is determined by what we do with it.
- We are much harder on people who betray us in small ways
than on people who betray others in great ones.

costs nothing and conveys much. It pleases him who gives and
him who receives, and thus, like mercy, is twice blessed.
- The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's
opportunities, and to make the most of one's resources.
