The mistake in the past has been to forget that the intelligence is but one aspect of human life, and that the experience of mankind is far more complicated a matter than that of mere intellect, and not to be solved by intellect alone.

Intellect has to play a definite part in human life, but it does not constitute the whole of life.

Life itself is far greater than intellect, and to live is a far more important thing than to know.

The great things are life and action; knowledge is ultimately useful in so far as it contributes to the development of life and the perfection of action.

Philosophers have for too long a period made knowledge an aim in itself, and have neglected to take proper account of the experiences of mankind.
