Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to
be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the
greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a
knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not;

mud of outward sense – cravings…

I know the path: it is straight and narrow.
It is like the edge of a sword. I rejoice to walk on it. I
weep when I sleep. God’s word is: “He who strives never
perishes.” I have implicit faith in that promise. Though,
therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I
shall not lose faith …
