By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect. The passing day is prey to error. Once one knows what really matters, one ceases to be voluble. Both must move ever onward in life, to and fro, like breathing in and breathing out. Whoever makes it a rule to test action by thought, thought by action, cannot falter, and if he does, will soon find his way back to the right road.
Truth is a torch but a tremendous one.
That is why we hurry past it, shielding our eyes, indeed, in fear of getting burned. We cannot possess what we do not understand. Hypotheses are lullabies for teachers to sing their students to sleep. The close and thoughtful observer more and more learns to recognize his limitations. He realizes that with the steady growth of knowledge more and more new problems keep on emerging.
