Show Intellect j I am quite sure, that It Is a most i solemn duty to cultivate our under- : standings to the uttermost, for I have j seen the evil moral consequences of fanaticism, to a greater degree thaa I ever expected to see them realized; and I am satisfied that a neglected j Intellect is far oftener the cause of mischief to man, than a perverted or j overvalued one. Men retain their nat- j ural quickness or cleverness, whils their reason and Judgment are allowed to go to ruin, and thus do they work their minds and gain Influence, and are pleased at gaining it; but It Is tha undisciplined mind which they are exercising, ex-ercising, Instead of one wisely dii-elplined. dii-elplined. Edwin Arnold. |
