Knowledge helps its enemies, but ignorance harms its friends.

Sages see further with their eyes closed than scholars with their eyes open.

Truth is a saint. Pride is a sinner. Curiosity is a scholar. Love is a sage.

The world is a scholar's classroom; the universe is a sage's university.

A pen in a scholar's pocket is greater than a sword in a warrior's hand.
