knowledge

all appears to change when we change

While differing widely in the various little bits we know, in our infinite ignorance we are all equal.

Ah! how little knowledge does a man acquire in his life. He gathers it up like water, but like water it runs between his fingers, and yet, if his hands be but wet as though with dew, behold a generation of fools call out, 'See, he is a wise man!' Is it not so?

Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired.

A visitor is a friend, he brings news, good or bad, which is bread to the hungry minds in lonely places. A real friend who comes to the house is a heavenly messenger, who brings the panis angelorum.

Wisdom is the daughter of experience

The power of your prayer lies in your knowing that God is there right beside you.

Old words are reborn with new faces.

I had given up some youth for knowledge, but my gain was more valuable than the loss
