“[L]ove of kindness, without a love to learn, finds itself obscured by foolishness. Love of knowledge, without a love to learn, finds itself obscured by loose speculation. Love of honesty, without a love to learn, finds itself obscured by harmful candor. Love of straightforwardness, without a love to learn, finds itself obscured by misdirected judgment.

Love of daring without a love to learn, finds itself obscure by insubordination. And love for strength of character, without a love to learn, finds itself obscured by intractability.”
