“Let us reason little, but do much. If we are not careful, the acquisition of knowledge will so occupy this life that we shall need another to put our acquired knowledge into practice. The danger is that we imagine ourselves advanced towards perfection in proportion to our knowledge of the way. However, all our beautiful theories-rather than assisting in the death of self -only serve to nourish the life of Adam in us by a secret delight and confidence in our own illumination.”
