Scholar

Famous quotes containing the word scholar:

    The scholar may be sure that he writes the tougher truth for the calluses on his palms. They give firmness to the sentence. Indeed, the mind never makes a great and successful effort, without a corresponding energy of the body.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The scholar may lose himself in schools, in words, and become a pedant; but when he comprehends his duties, he above all men is a realist, and converses with things.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A scholar does not wish to be always pumping his brains; he wants gossips.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
