Clarity of mind is most valuable when it illuminates events slowly and evenly. It is possible to be too clever, friend; intelligence must be tied to sincerity and genuine feeling, otherwise it is liable to burn itself out like a fire in dry straw. Those in possession of brilliance must learn to temper their insights, so as not to arouse enmity in others. Those who are restless and impatient with others may rise to prominence quickly, but are likely to descend just as rapidly.
