--Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket;
and do not pull it out and strike it, merely to show that you have
one.--CHESTERFIELD.
He who learns and makes no use of his learning, is a beast of burden,
with a load of books.--SAADI.
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.
--POPE.
The three foundations of learning: Seeing much, suffering much, and
studying much.--CATHERALL.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love
Him, and to imitate Him, by possessing our souls of true virtue.--MILTON.
Learning passes for wisdom among those who want both.--SIR W. TEMPLE.
Learning makes a man fit company for himself.--YOUNG.
He who has no inclination to learn more, will be very apt to think
that he knows enough.--POWELL.
It is without all controversy that learning doth make the minds of men
gentle, amiable, and pliant to government; whereas ignorance makes
them churlish, thwarting, and mutinous; and the evidence of time doth
clear this assertion, considering that the most barbarous, rude, and
unlearned times have been most subject to tumults, seditions, and
changes.--LORD BACON.
He that wants good sense is unhappy in having learning, for he has
thereby only more ways of exposing himself; and he that has sense,
knows that learning is not knowledge, but rather the art of using
it.
