4. For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. -The Bible
5. Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. -The Bible
6. Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gets understanding -Solomon
7. A mind enlightened is like heaven; a mind in darkness is like hell. -Chinese proverb
8. Whom, then, do i call educated? 1st those who control circumstances, instead of being mastered by them; those who meet all occasions manfully and act in accordance with intelligent thinking; those who are honorable in all dealings, who treat good-naturedly persons and things that are disagreeable; and furthermore, those who old their pleasure under control and are not overcome by misfortune; finally those who are not spoiled by success -Socrates
9. The jewel of knowledge is great riches. It isn't plundered by kinsmen, nor carried off by thieves, nor decreased by giving - Bhavabhuti
