“All men by nature desire to know.”
“It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.”
“All men desire their own perfect adjustment, but they desire it, being finite men, on their own terms.”
“All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace.”
“I know now that all that glitters is not gold... However, I still go underrating men of gold, and glorifying men of mica. Commonplace human nature cannot rise above that.”
“There is naturally in every man a desire to know, but what profiteth knowledge without the fear of God?”
