"People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind." — William Butler Yeats

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it

Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions

The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely
