“The ignorant learn from none,
the simple learn from some,
the intelligent learn from many,
but enlightened learn from all.

The arrogant learn from none,
the gracious learn from some,
the patient learn from many,
but the humble learn from all.

The disinterested learn from none,
the curious learn from some,
the keen learn from many,
but the disciplined learn from all.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“If you have not confronted true horrors, understood evil, suffered hopelessness and despair, found faith, and made yourself completely accountable for your own choices, actions and outcomes, then I can guarantee that any acceptance you pretend to have will be as brittle and temporary as a snowball in the middle of summer.”
― Graeme Rodaughan, The Crane War

Understanding said, “I am your sister.”
Knowledge said, “I am your father.”
Wisdom said, “I am your mother.”

Shallowness said, “I am your rival.”
Ignorance said, “I am your enemy.”
Literacy said, “I am your adversary.”
Stupidity said, “I am your nemesis.”
