Additional quotes by John Lancaster Spalding

They who truly know have had to unlearn hardly less than they have had to learn.

The study of science, dissociated from that of philosophy and literature, narrows the mind and weakens the power to love and follow the noblest ideals: for the truths which science ignores and must ignore are precisely those which have the deepest bearing on life and conduct.

Thought from which no emotion springs is sterile. The knowledge that has no bearing on the conduct of life is vain.
