| We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility. |
| I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility. |
| Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. |
| If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. |
| There's a place in the brain for knowing what cannot be remembered. |
| If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. |
| It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge. |
| No one gossips about other people's secret virtues. |
| The virtues are lost in self-interest as rivers are lost in the sea. |
| Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more. |
