All genius is a conquering of chaos and mystery.

Knowledge is the antidote to fear.

Ignorance is the womb of monsters.

Ignorance is not bliss, it is oblivion.

Where there is a feast of words there is often a famine of wisdom.

The truth and rapture of man are holy things, not lightly to be scorned. A carelessness of life and beauty mark the glutton, the idler, and the fool in their deadly path across history.

Greater understanding increases the capacity for tolerance.

Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.

Have the courage to be wise.

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. - Theodore Isaac Rubin
