Not all of us were meant to teach,but all of us were meant to learn.Not all of us were meant to lead,but all of us were meant to serve.Not all of us were meant to be rich,but all of us were meant to be charitable.Not all of us were meant to be famous,but all of us were meant to be upright.Not all of us were meant to be mighty,but all of us were meant to persevere.Not all of us were meant to be extraordinary,but all of us were meant to prevail.

To know is to memorize.To understand is to utilize.The accumulation of knowledge is learnedness.The accumulation of wisdom is experience.

Less fear, more courage.Less doubt, more faith.Less talking, more action.Less ignorance, more knowledge.

Strength accomplishes sizable things.Wisdom accomplishes incredible things.Faith accomplishes remarkable things.Love accomplishes unbelievable things.

Wisdom is more faithful than a woman,and knowledge is more faithful than a friend.Folly is more oppressive than a tyrant,and evil more overwhelming than fury.
