True stability results when presumed order and presumed disorder are balanced. A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.

The human mind, if it is to keep its sanity, must maintain the nicest balance between unity and plurality.

The superiority of one mind over another depends on the rapidity with which experiences are thus organised.

First, he must hold rational values, and to do this he must be a thinker.
