by Mulla Juzar Shaikh Yusuf bhai:

Knowledge is a treasure so vast, that is never exhausted: wisdom is a new robe that never gets worn.

The robe of knowledge will immortalize you, and never look old.

Gain knowledge: it adorns you, if you are rich; and feeds you if you are poor.

The man the most secure in his knowledge is he whose convictions are not weakened by doubt.

The knowledge the most useful is what one puts into practice.

Choose the best part of each science, as the bee sips the most delicate part of the flower.

Pursue knowledge, that you may be worthy of an honorable and respected position.

Seek knowledge, make yourself know by it, practice it – you will so become a learned man.

Experience is knowledge gained.

The inexperience are often deceived.

A monarch is respected for his power; the scholar because of what he knows; the benefactor for his benefactions, and patriarch for his age.

How know another, if one does not know oneself?

Do not hate what you do not know; for the greater part of knowledge consists of what you do not know.

If you hide what you know, you will be supposed to know nothing.

One questioned about a matter of which he knows not, should not blush to say:” I do not know.”

Man is at enmity with what he does not know.

The bane of knowledge is lack of practicing it: the bane of labour is to work, but not with sincerity.

That knowledge is very superficial which remains only on your tongue : the intrinsic merit and value of knowledge is that you act up to it.
