that of another blue, and that of the third black;

and a fourth wicked; but the Divine Being dwells in them all.
- An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes
(that) can be made in a very narrow field.

personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.

if greatness is expected of him.
