Native ability without education is like a tree without fruit

It is better to be a beggar than ignorant; For the beggar only wants money, but an ignorant person wants humanity.

A wise man's country is the world

Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself

Perhaps the most valuable result of al education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.

Those that study particular sciences, and neglect philosophy, are like Penelope's wooers, that make love to the waiting women.
