"A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short." "The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get." "Love is, above all, the gift of oneself." "What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way." Top 5 quotes from Education "He listens well who takes notes." "The small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify we give the name of knowledge." "A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know." "Learning has been [a] great loser by being shut up in colleges and cells and secluded from the world and good company." "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
