"If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I alr..." — Saint Augustine

Blessedness consists in the accomplishment of our desires, and in our having only regular desires.

A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.
