“Intelligence and education that hasn't been tempered by human affection isn't worth a damn.”

“But I've learned that intelligence alone doesn't mean a damned thing. Here in your university, intelligence, education, knowledge, have all become great idols. But I know now there's one thing you've all overlooked: intelligent and education that hasn't been tempered by human affection isn't worth a damn...Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love...Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis.”

“Superhuman effort isn't worth a damn unless it achieves results.”

“Human knowledge hasn't been complete enough to understand the afterlife if it hasn't been through the valley of death.”

“Education isn't for getting a job. It's about developing yourself as a human being.”

“There's never been a rule of human behavior that hasn't been broken by someone, somewhere, sometime, in some circumstance mundane or spectacular. To be human is to transcend the rules.”
