Know what you are talking about.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.

When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.
