Good morning everybody. I was reading a newspaper when I came across with one good article. First of all I should give you the simple meaning of enlightenment . Enlightenment is the realization of the truth.. How about enrichment. It means to fill with things of value.
We need not feel impoverished in times of economic difficulties. Here are gems of wisdom to enlighten and enrich your life:
1. If a man empties his pursure into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. --(Benjamin Franklin)
2. It is in knowledge as in swimming; he who flounders and splashes on the surface makes more noise and attracts more attention than the pearl diver who quietly dives to the bottom in quest of treasures. –(Washington Irving)
Wisdom
3. You can buy education, but wisdom is a gift from God.
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? First, 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 hold their pleasure under control and are not overcome by misfortune; finally, those who are not spoiled by success. –(Socrates)
9. That jewel of knowledge is great riches. It isn’t plundered by kinsmen, nor carried off by thieves, nor decreased by giving. –(Bhavabhuti)
10. To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge. (Benjamin Disraeli) – R.Valencia,S.Bismark
