Scholar

Famous quotes containing the word scholar:

“And let a scholar all earth’s volumes carry,
He will be but a walking dictionary:
A mere articulate clock.”
—George Chapman (1559–1634)

“The scholar was not raised by the sacred thoughts amongst which he dwelt, but used them to selfish ends. He was a profane person, and became a showman, turning his gifts to marketable use, and not to his own sustenance and growth. It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man, as any single organ can be invigorated, and the result was monstrous.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“A scholar is a candle which the love and desire of all men will light.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
