Our best-laid plans are often our worst-made decisions.

My wisdom absent of God’s wisdom is nothing more than a best-guess.

Genius without wisdom is like a plane without wings; it will navigate the runway but it will never know the sky.

Instinct is all of our humanity being deliberately honest with all of life.

I thought myself sufficiently shrewd to make whatever decisions I wanted to make, and then to be able to sufficiently steer those decisions away from the rather dark and nasty places they would naturally take me. And I stand oddly perplexed that suddenly everything around me is dark and nasty.

The common theme of common sense is that it’s commonly rejected as uncommonly demanding.
