To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.

Knowledge is the life of the mind.

Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.

The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.

Knowledge has value only insofar as it contributes to the all-round development of the whole nature of man.

Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.

Fullness of knowledge always means some understanding of the depths of our ignorance; and that is always conducive to humility and reverence.
