In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.

If you want to make progress, put up with being perceived as ignorant or naive in worldly matters, don't aspire to a reputation for sagacity.

Caring about the one inevitably means you are going to shortchange the other.
