~ Wisdom for Wednesday ~

Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
~ Proverbs 3:13-14

No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
~ Emma Goldman

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ~ Robert M. Hutchins

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. 
~ Edward Everett

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. 
~ William Butler Yeats

Hear instruction and be wise,
And do not disdain it.
~ Proverbs 8:33

  1. Your blog scared me...I was confused that I've been thinking all day it's Tuesday! =) I have an appointment on Wednesday, need to pray for a friend having surgery and on and on the list goes. =) No idea how you got your Wednesday post to say Wednesday at the top! =)

    Otherwise, thank you for the Wisdom...it's the principle thing, so with all we get, I hope we get lots of it! God bless!
