There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
Quotes for: problem
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
