Quote

The function of intellect is to provide a means of modifying our reactions to the circumstances of life, so that we may secure pleasure, the symptom of welfare.

I get enormous satisfaction from knowing I'm doing something for society.

I get satisfaction when I write something I like, when I'm happy with it.

I have the satisfaction of knowing I did something useful for society.

From time to time, I need a rest from the exercitation of my intellect.

My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.

I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know.

My intellect was quickened at divinity school, and my abilities to discern were strengthened, and that's always valuable.
