| History is mostly guessing; the rest is prejudice. It is good that a philosopher should remind himself, now and then, that he is a particle pontificating on infinity. The conservative who resists change is as valuable as the radical who proposes it. To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy. To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. |

| Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character. The only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionaries are philosophers and saints. We... repeatedly enlarge our instrumentalities without improving our purpose. |
