One destitute of wealth is not destitute, he is indeed rich, but the man devoid of learning is destitute in every way.

Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one letter of it; not without attending to charity, study and other pious activity.

Learning is like a cow of desire. It, like her, yields in all seasons. Like a mother, it feeds you on your journey. Therefore learning is a hidden treasure.

When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began.

Always try to associate yourself closely with and learn as much as you can from those who know more than you, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you. Apart from the rewards of friendship, the association might pay off at some unforeseen time - that is only an accidental byproduct. The important thing is that the learning will make you a better person.
