As early as age 8, I was required to learn and recite many quotes at school. Below are three that always stuck in my head and were my motivation for never giving up on my educational goals.
Labor For Learning
"Labor for learning before you grow old;
For learning is better than silver or gold.
Silver and gold will vanish away,
But a good education will never decay."
The Heights By Great Men
The heights by great men reached and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight;
But, they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Early to Bed
Early to bed,
Early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Very nice quote "Labor for Learning". I never read that one before. I wish some of our politicians would remember that.
ReplyDeleteLol. Not many of us realize that we can lose many of our possessions at the flick of a switch but our knowledge and education will last forever
