“Virtue comes through contemplation of the divine, and the exercise of philosophy. But it also comes through public service. The one is incomplete without the other. Power without wisdom is tyranny; wisdom without power is pointless.”

“Wisdom's daughter walks alone.That didn't just mean without other people, Annabeth realized. It meant without any special powers.”

“Whoever is full of wisdom is naturally compassionate; in fact we recognize that someone has gained spiritual wisdom by seeing their compassionate behavior. . . . Individuals and countries with power need to develop wisdom and compassion, for without these attributes, there is a danger that the power will be used to oppress and exploit others. (31)”

“With wisdom all choices are made with Divine Intent. With compassion all choices are made with Love. Divine Inspiration comes through the heart. Through the mind comes the ability to manifest the inspiration in the physical.”

“Without Freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom;and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.”

“Without power, knowledge is useless. without knowledge, faith is tyranny. Without understanding, humanity is blind, and without all four, it is doomed.”
