(55 votes)   In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And age, if it has not esteem, has nothing.

(54 votes)   Wisdom is far better than the treasure of silver & gold. It is sweeter than honey & finer than wine, brighter than the sun & to be loved more than precious stones. What is stored within is greater than oil, & it satisfies ones cravings more than meat. It is joy to the heart, light to the eye, speed to the foot, & shield to the breast. Queen Makeda of Ethiopia on the wisdom of King Solomon -The Kebra Nagast
