“Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.”
“Which would you prefer? To be perpetually standing still or perpetually running?”
“Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.”
“Human life without knowledge of history is nothing other than a perpetual childhood, nay, a permanent obscurity and darkness. -Philip Melanchthon”
“There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.”
“The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.”
