“ [V]irtue is not news, and virtuous men, like happy nations, have no history. ”
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
~ Will Durant
And last are the few whose delight is in meditation and understanding; who yearn not for goods, nor for victory, but for knowledge; who leave both market and battlefield to lose themselves in the quiet clarity of secluded thought; whose will is a light rather than a fire, whose haven is not power but truth: these are the men of wisdom, who stand aside unused by the world.
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art, it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.
Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.
