A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. (Confucius)

Accurate reading on a wide range of subjects makes the scholar; careful selection of the better makes the saint. (John of Salisbury)

And let a Scholler, all earths volumes carrie,
He will be but a walking dictionarie. (George Chapman)

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgement. (James Russell Lowell)

A great scholar…is…not one who depends simply on an infinite memory, but also on an infinite and electrical power of combination; bringing together from the four winds, like the angel of the resurrection, what else were dust from dead men’s bones, into the unity of breathing life. (Thomas De Quincey)
