"Excellence in one domain does not guarantee wisdom in another."

"We inherit debt, both financial and moral."

"Desire properly ordered leads to flourishing; disordered it leads to suffering."

"Justice delayed is justice denied but also hastily delivered justice is often unjust."

"The mind seeks patterns even where none exist."

"Art is the conversation between human and cosmos."

"Science requires both skepticism and openness."

"The moral life is a continuous practice, not a destination."

"We are never fully transparent to ourselves."

"Legacy is what we leave behind both intentionally and unintentionally."
