You Can't Go Feeding Your Hate On

In This World Are Very Few Things Made From Logic Alone. It Is Illogical For Man To Be Too Logical. Some Things We Must Just Let Stand. The Mystery Is More Important Than Any Possible Explanation. The Searcher After Truth Must Search With Humanity. Ruthless Logic Is The Sign Of A Limited Mind. The Truth Can Only Add To The Sum Of What You Know, While A Harmless Mystery Left Unexplored Often Adds To The Meaning Of Life. When A Truth Is Not So Important, It Is Better Left As A Mystery.

I Watch People Get Older And Lose Their Intellectual Acuity; You Lose That Sharpness, That Cleanness, That Brain That You Worked So Hard On And That You Were Gifted With And Lose The Gifts That Were Given.

Intelligence Is A Harder Gift. For This You Must Work, You Must Practice It, Challenge It, And Maybe Toward The End Of Your Life You Will Master It. Cleverness Is The Shadow, Whereas Intelligence Is The Substance. -doc
