“ To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.
“ Emotion without reason lets people walk all over you; reason without emotion is a mask for cruelty.
“ Read in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a clot.Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, Who taught (to write) with the pen. Taught man what he knew not.
“ A true teacher would never tell you what to do. But he would give you the knowledge with which you could decide what would be best for you to do.
“ I know nothing, because I know too much, and understand not nearly enough and never will.
“ One of the poets, whose name I cannot recall, has a passage, which I am unable at the moment to remember, in one of his works, which for the time being has slipped my mind, which hits off admirably this age-old situation.
“ It's a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.
