Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.

When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can. Knowledge conquers fear.

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

Personal growth is not a matter of learning new information but of unlearning old limits.

College isn't the place to go for ideas.

Read, read, read. Never stop reading. And when you can't read anymore… write.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.
