Pause and ponder
1 The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.
2 A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.
3 People are given two ears and one tongue so that they may listen more than speak.
4 Every blade of grass has its own angel that bends over it and whispers, grow, grow.
5 That is what learning is,
You suddenly understand something you have understood all your life, but in a new way.
6 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
7 No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
8 I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.
9 Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled.
10 To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty. This knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
