Do not listen to free men who say education is only for those free men. No. Listen to the wise men who say only those educated are free. We learn to learn how to live, remember that when you don't feel like doing it.

Reading books is great, but at some point you'll have to go out and take action. Do that while you still can.

Every one of us lasts a day, whether we are remembering others, or others are remembering us after we're gone. We come up in a memory for a day, and then we're gone again like the morning fog.

Life is long, we just squander so much of it. Next time you think you don't have enough time for family or friends or to learn something new, remember all the wasted time as use your time more wisely from here on out.

Everything requires rest. The overworked field becomes unfertile. The overworked animal dies. The overworked person also dies, but it's also true of the mind, not just the body. Let the mind rest and it will come back stronger than before.
