A scholar’s pen is more valuable than a warrior’s sword.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Ignorance shuts the mind’s door tight, wisdom swings it wide open.
One who never reads only goes where his feet can take him, but one who does, travels around the world.
Sages see further with their eyes closed than scholars with their eyes open.
The mind is a temple of knowledge, the heart is a temple of understanding, and the soul is a temple of wisdom; together they are a temple of enlightenment.
Fall from ignorance, and you will rise to reason.
A book is a whole world that you can fit into your pocket.
Ask for a fish, and you only get one; ask for a net, and you can catch dozens.
Education costs an arm and a leg, but ignorance costs you your mind and your soul.
You learn more from your tears than your smiles.
Read when you can.Teach when you ought.Learn when you must.Apply when you should.
Listen until you're the smartest.Learn until you're the wisest.Live until you're the merriest.Love until you're the kindest.
The best learners are the best earners.
Never quit on your dream, but learn to cut your losses and quit your plan if it is not working.
~ Ken Poirot
If you feed a child, you strengthen him for a day; if you educate him, you strengthen him for a lifetime.
A book is a small library you can fit into your pocket.
