Wisdom Is a Chisel, Love Is the Sandpaper

Man needs intellectuality, but intellect must be tempered with Love. When carving a piece of furniture, you have to smooth it with sandpaper or it will remain rough. Love is the sandpaper that takes away the harshness of intelligence and smoothes your intellectuality. With both wisdom and love you become useful and practical piece of furniture that is admired by all, and loved by God -- and that is what you are seeking to make of yourself
