The Path To Reward

Effort is its own reward.
We are here to do.
And through doing to learn;
And through learning to know;
And through knowing to attain wonder;
And through wonder to attain wisdom;
And through wisdom to find simplicity;
And through simplicity to give attention;
And through attention to see what needs to be done.

Another Thought On #45’s Poor Education

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain.  It’s not something you learn in school.  But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

Never Used Up

Knowledge is not simply another commodity.  On the contrary.  Knowledge is never used up.  It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.

Eureka!

We know, not by a direct and simple vision, not at a glance, but as it were, by piecemeal and accumulation … by going around an object, by comparison.

Education is an admirable thing.  But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
