Scholar Quotes

If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances Picture Quote #1

I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page Picture Quote #1

There are so many who know more than I do, who understand the world better than I do. I would be truly learned, a great scholar, if only I could retain everything I’ve learned from those I have known. But then would I still be me? And isn’t all that only words? Words grow old, too; they change their meaning and their usage. They get sick just as we do; they die of their wounds and then they are relegated to the dust of dictionaries. And where am I in all this? Picture Quote #1

When a scholar of the old culture vows no longer to have anything to do with men who believe in progress, he is right. For the old culture has its greatness and goodness behind it, and an historical education forces one to admit that it can never again be fresh Picture Quote #1

That eminence of learning is not to be gained without labour, at least equal to that which any other kind of greatness can require, will be allowed by those who wish to elevate the character of a scholar; since they cannot but know that every human acquisition is valuable in proportion to the difficulty of its attainment Picture Quote #1

Reverence for life... does not allow the scholar to live for his science alone, even if he is very useful... the artist to exist only for his art, even if he gives inspiration to many... It refuses to let the business man imagine that he fulfills all legitimate demands in the course of his business activities. It demands from all that they should sacrifice a portion of their own lives for others Picture Quote #1

Every person seems to acknowledge his greatness. He blends together the profound politician with the scholar Picture Quote #1

When the modern scholar cites from a classic text, the quotation seems to burn a hole in his own drab page Picture Quote #1

Truth, which is important to a scholar, has got to be concrete. And there is nothing more concrete than dealing with babies, burps and bottles, frogs and mud Picture Quote #1

The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar Picture Quote #1

No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar Picture Quote #1

I’ve often thought that my scruples about stealing books were the only thing that stood in the way of my being a really great scholar Picture Quote #1

To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar Picture Quote #1

Why, a spirit is such a little, little thing, that I have heard man, who was a great scholar, say that he’ll dance ye a hornpipe upon the point of a needle Picture Quote #1

The ordinary man is ruined by the flesh lusting against the spirit; the scholar by the spirit lusting too much against the flesh Picture Quote #1

This is ever the test of the scholar: whether he allows intellectual fastidiousness to stand between him and the great issues of his time Picture Quote #1

To make a deliberate falsification for personal gain is the last, worst depth to which either scholar or artist can descend in work or life Picture Quote #1

A scholar is committed to building on knowledge that others have gathered, correcting it, confirming it, enlarging it Picture Quote #1

My parents wanted me to be smart and be a scholar, and the best I could do was graduate high school Picture Quote #1

When you are a great scholar of stupidity, logics and marketing, you can do practically everthing, from business to trading, from spiritual research to artistic criticism Picture Quote #1

I would probably have been very content as a scholar to have carried on organising exhibitions and writing books and teaching Picture Quote #1

In my teens, I developed a passionate idolatry for a teacher of English literature. I wanted to do something that he would approve of more, so I thought I should be some sort of a scholar Picture Quote #1

If the scholar feels that he must know everything about any topic, he is in trouble - and will not publish with a clear conscience Picture Quote #1

I can scarcely manage to scribble a tolerable English letter. I know that I am not a scholar, but meantime I am aware that no man living knows better than I do the habits of our birds Picture Quote #1

Genius, scholar, and war hero though he is, you have to admit - or maybe you should think about admitting - that George Bush might have rushed things a little in invading Iraq Picture Quote #1

I’m not a scholar or a psychologist, so I don’t really think about why. But I do think about what it means to sing to and with people, to offer music to them, and to ask them to spend time with me Picture Quote #1

Better make friends with an ignoramus who is liberal with his money and of a pleasing disposition than with a scholar who is mean and irascible Picture Quote #1

I’m basically a poetry scholar, and I’m happier here in my studio with my row of Chinese dictionaries than I am, frankly, at Lincoln Center Picture Quote #1

I was very much influenced by a great book by the scholar Neil Richards called Intellectual Privacy, that [Louis] Brandeis changed his mind on the proper balance between dignity and free speech Picture Quote #1

Not everyone realises that to write a really good piece of journalism is at least as demanding intellectually as the achievement of any scholar Picture Quote #1
