"We hold that no power ever comes to man through the intellect (the intellect being cold, while wisdom is of the heart and founded in love). We say that the adage "knowledge is power" is false; but that goodness alone is power and that that pertains to the heart only; hence that power comes only to the Soul through Love (not lust) but love, the underlying, primal Fire-life subtending the bases of being--the formative flowing floor of the worlds--the true sensing of which is the beginning of the road to personal power. Love lieth at the foundation and is the synonym of life and strength and clingingness."
