Where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.

Summary

This quote suggests that a mind that is broad and expansive leaves little space for other qualities such as kindness, generosity, and empathy to flourish. When one focuses too much on intellectual pursuits and thinking, there is a risk of neglecting emotions and virtues that contribute to a compassionate and well-rounded individual. It emphasizes the importance of achieving balance between intellectual growth and nurturing the heart and senses.
