Scholar

Famous quotes containing the word scholar:

“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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.

“I’m a good scholar when it comes to reading but a blotting kind of writer when you give me a pen.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
