    A scholar would be willing to die for one who recognizes his talents, just as a woman will beautify herself for the one who loves her.
    Chinese proverb.

    The tranquility and peace that a scholar needs is something as sweet and exhilarating as love. Unspeakable joys are showered on us by the exertion of our mental faculties; the quest of ideas, and the tranquil contemplation of knowledge; delights indescribable, because purely intellectual and impalpable to our senses.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
