Hunger is a lesser evil than ignorance.

You are no greater than the knowledge you acquire, the desires you harbor, and the experiences you cherish.

Inhale every blessing you can think of, and exhale all that is not. Like a fist that can always get tighter, you can always give more. It is essential that you know that in your heart, and you will survive this day as you have so many in the past. You can get through this. I believe in the power of you.

Learn more. Love more. Laugh more. Live more.

The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus.

Pain teaches you more than pleasure. Failure teaches you more than success. Poverty teaches you more than prosperity. Adversity teaches you more than comfort.

Esteem intelligence, cherish knowledge, and value understanding, but trust wisdom.

Be humble as you learn, confident as you teach, and modest when you have mastered both.

Knowledge is the eldest daughter of wisdom.

Teach the ignorant. Study the wise. Avoid the foolish. Embrace the enlightened.

Learn from acquaintances, and you are clever; from friends, and you are intelligent; from enemies, and you are shrewd; but learn from all, and you are wise.

An ounce of wisdom is worth more than a pound of knowledge.

A shrewd enemy will teach you more than a foolish friend.

Know what you want. Pursue what you need. Realize what you ought. Attain what you desire.

The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.

Three kinds of people achieve illumination: those who learn, those who teach, and those who do both continuously.

Stir the world with your skills, shake the world with your talents, move the world with your brilliance, change the world with your genius.

Knowledge gives you the world, intelligence gives you the sky, understanding gives you the stars, but wisdom gives you the universe.

Teach yourself. Help yourself. Improve yourself. Enrich yourself.

In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.

Knowledge is the path, understanding is the way, wisdom is the highway, and enlightenment is the destination.

The most difficult door to open is the entrance to an ignorant mind.

One who thinks for himself is a threat to his enemies, a refuge to his acquaintances, a prize to his friends, and a gift to the world.

The ignorant learn from none, the simple learn from some, the intelligent learn from many, but the enlightened learn from all.

Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.

Your strength lies in knowledge, your power lies in wisdom, your treasure lies in understanding, and your wealth lies in life.

If you want to shine, sit before a lamp; if you want to shine brighter, sit before a fire; but if you want to shine the brightest, sit before a sage.

To be happy: the simple pursue pleasure, the common pursue riches, the uncommon pursue knowledge, and the exceptional pursue wisdom.

Learn what you can, teach what you know, live how you ought.

A book is the only vehicle that can take you around the world in one hour.

To be knowledgeable, sit before scholars; to be wise, sit before life.

A bird is born knowing how to fly, but has to learn to conquer the skies.

Don't downgrade your dreams to upgrade your relationships.

If an eagle is teaching you to fly, ignore the advice of turkeys.

Making your mark in the world is better than making trouble.

The best way to overcome your weaknesses is to turn them into strengths.

An ambitious amateur will rise above a complacent master.

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.

Intelligence is the icing, but wisdom is the cake.

A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.

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.

The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.

Education costs an arm and a leg, but ignorance costs you your mind and your soul.

Paying the high cost of education is better than paying the high price of ignorance.

A lifelong learner is a lifelong winner.

A wise person makes one error,and learns ten lessons.He makes two errors,and learns twenty lessons.He makes three errors,and learns thirty lessons.He makes few errors,and learns countless lessons.

Tomorrow belongs to those who learn today.

A book is a small library you can fit into your pocket.

A loud mind is greater than a loud mouth.

A teacher instructs;a student absorbs.A book is a companion;a good one, a messiah.

The greatest prison in the universe is an ignorant mind.
