View Quote We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

View Quote Albert Einstein, "The Goal of Human Existence", Out of My Later Years (1956), p. 260

View Quote We really seek intelligence not for the answers it may suggest to the problems of life, but because we believe it is life,—not for aid in making the will of God prevail, but because we believe it is the will of God. We love it, as we love virtue, for its own sake, and we believe it is only virtue’s other and more precise name.
