" "The Body is the raw material of the doctor and physical therapist. Land is the farmer’s raw material. The raw material of the Good Man is His Mind, His Goal being to respond to impressions the way nature intended.
As a general rule, nature designed The Mind to assent to what is true, dissent from what is false, and suspend judgement in doubtful cases. Similarly, it conditioned the mind to desire what is good, to reject what is bad, and to regard with indifference what is neither one or the other.

لا تقل أبدًا إني فيلسوف، ولا تكثر الحديث بين الجهال عن نظرياتك، بل بيّنها بالأفعال. فإذا كنت في وليمة فلا تقل كيف ينبغي الأكل بل كل كما ينبغي ... وإذا دار أي حديث بين الجهّال حول أي نظريات فلسفية فالزم الصمت دائمًا؛ فثمة خطرٌ كبيرٌ بأن تقيء في الحال ما لم تهضمه. وعندما يأتي اليومٌ الذي يقال لك فيه: إنك لا تعرف شيئًا، فلا يثير ذلك غضبك ولا سخطك - فثق عندئذٍ أنك قد وضعت قدمك على بداية طريق الحكمة.
ذلك أنه حتى الخراف لا تقيء عشبها لكي نُريَ الرعاةً كم أكلت؛ بل عندما تهضم الكلأ داخلها فإنها تخرجه صوفاا ولبنا، أنت أيضًا لا تُظهر النظريات للجهال بل الأفعال الناتجة عن النظريات بعد أن يتم هضمّها.
