There comes a time in the development of every ego when it must love its neighbors or become a twisted and stunted personality.
There are things we do that the human mind doesn't understand, yet the same things are meant for the heart to fully comprehend.
All the analysis of infinite reality which the finite human mind can conduct rests on the tacit assumption that only a finite portion of this reality constitutes the object of scientific investigation, and that only it is 'important' in the sense of ...
We ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the universe. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the skies so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking ...
The human being is a very poorly designed machine tool. The human being excels in coordination. He excels in relating perception to action. He works best if the entire human being, muscles, senses, and mind, is engaged in the work.
There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
