When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth.

~~~~~~~
…the integrative tendencies of the individual are incomparably more dangerous than his self-assertive tendencies.
~~~~~~~
…the more original a discovery the more obvious it seems afterwards.
~~~~~~~
…there is no alienation that a little power will not cure.
~~~~~~~
…we are entitled to make almost any reasonable assumption, but should resist making conclusions until evidence requires that we do so.

A cripple in the right way may beat a racer in the wrong one. Nay, the fleeter and better the racer is, who hath once missed his way, the farther he leaveth it behind.
~~~~~~~
