Here are some neat thoughts I found on knowledge and teaching.
"Like the muscles in our bodies, the brain gets strong in the places
where we train it."
Eileen McDargh
"Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain be idle."
George Carlin
"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers."
-- Richard Bach
"One exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge is the power of teaching."
-- Aristotle
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and unbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
-- James 1:5

Book: All the Stars In Heaven

The Book
Ever since the woman he once adored told Jay Kendrich he was a chivalrous her, he has tried to live up to the praise. But when things don't work out with Jane, moving on and dating other girls proves to be a chore. That is until he meets fellow Harvard student Sarah Morgan. Although Sarah is a freshman studying music and Jay is in his third year of law school, he discovers they have much in common. He has also discovered that getting to know the shy pianist is painful. The last thing Jay expected from his friendly advances was to be assaulted by a brawny stranger. It is abundantly clear that someone wants him to stay away from Sarah. If only he could.
As long as she can remember, Sarah has lived under a watchful eye. While her father insists it's for her own protections, Sarah feels imprisoned. As she begins to believe that those she has trusted most don't have her best interest at heart, she is driven further from her respected father and closer to Jay. But their love will come at a high price as the pair edges closer toward to a truth that is darker than either of them could have imagined.

Thoroughly enjoyed your blog. Knowledge is indeed power. The quotes are well worth writing down and keeping in a place where we can read them often. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed the introduction of "Alll the Stars in Heaven".
I've wanted to go back to school for my masters but haven't been able to for various reasons. Still, I've looked up book lists for classes I would have taken if I could enroll and read them, which has been interesting.
We should definitely never stop learning.
Italian! Wow! All i know is "ciao." Weird spelling for "chow!"
You go, girl!
So true. Knowledge is power. I returned to college after my children were out of high school. It was intense, but I really enjoyed it.
That is so ironic, Jewel, because I'd love to learn Italian. I took French for many years (can hardly remember anything, but it comes back now and then). But Italian really sounds like fun.
