If I knew myself I'd run away. My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists as all. It is better to know some of the questions than all of he answers. The great end of life is not knowledge but action.
Some men are heavy and stupid from undigested learning.
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul. But how many in this world care little for the service of God, and perish in their vain learning. Because they choose to be great rather than humble, they perish in their own conceit.
