Confucius
Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor
to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our
friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when
friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is
an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies.

The most fatal illusion is the settled
point of view. Life is growth and motion; a fixed point kills anybody
who has one.
– Brooks Atkinson
Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has
a value at this moment exactly proportional to my skill to deal with it.
Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it
better.

Experience is not what happens to you; it
is what you do with what happens to you.
– Aldous Huxsley
A life without change is not a life; it is
a stagnant pool. To change your mind frivolously is a cop-out. To change
your mind under the direction of the wisdom of the heart is a brush
stroke on the masterpiece you are delivering to the world.
– Alan Cohen, "Dare to Be Yourself"
The search for
wisdom is a great challenge;
to act on wisdom is an even greater challenge.

Intelligence is like a four-wheel drive. It
allows you to get stuck in more remote places.
