"The silent treasuring up of knowledge; learning..." - Quote by Confucius

“The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied”

“We should not be too familiar with the lower orders or with women.”

“The contrived language and the flattering attitude rarely come with the virtue.”

“The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.”

“Ye cannot know eternal reality by a definition. Time itself, and all the acts and events that fill time are the definition, and it must be lived.”

“He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”

“There is very little difference between one who cannot read and one who will not read.”

“The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.”

“The war in Iraq, specifically America's role of leadership in this war, is a painful invitation to ask ourselves what, if anything, we've learned from previous wars. I am revolted by the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people during any war. And I'm saddened by the apparent inability of human beings to find less violent solutions to conflict and terrorism.”
