“No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.”
“Of all treasures of knowledge, the most vital is the knowledge of God, his existence, powers, love, and promises.”
“No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.”
“The power of hope! Even a lack of ambition can, for a time, pay off as a necessary facet, as long as hope outweighs it.”
“A true knowledge of ourselves is knowledge of our power.”
“We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"; our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.”
