"The mountain of books ...."

The mountain of books has a road, but it takes diligence to climb.

The ocean of knowledge has no shores and it’s bitter work to sail the boat.

Han Yu

"Wide research and steadfast purpose ...."

Wide research and steadfast purpose, eager questioning and close reflection – all this tends to humanize a man.

Confucius

"If I am not for myself ...."

“If I am not for myself,

who will be for me?

If I am for myself only,

what am i?

But if not now, when?

Hillel

And so I will

And so I will

I will give thanks

I will celebrate

I will give

I will let go

I will focus

"This learned I from the shadow of a tree ...."

“This learned I from the shadow of a tree

That to and fro did sway upon a wall:

Our shadow selves, our influence, may fall

Where we can never be.”
