As a human, I am continuously learning too, and thanks to the WWW, have found wonderful mentors throughout the world who continuously help me help others.

"Good sense is mankind's most equitably divided endowment... the differences of opinion are not due to difference in intelligence, but merely to the fact that we use different approaches and consider different things.  For it is not enough to have a good mind: one must use it well."

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

To him...
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." – Pearl Buck

No vessel is limitless, except for the vessel of knowledge.

No wealth can profit you more than the mind, no isolation can be more desolate than conceit, no policy can be wiser than prudence, no generosity can be better than decency, no heritage can be more bountiful than culture, no guidance can be truer than inspiration, no enterprise can be more successful than goodness, and no honour can surpass knowledge.

Knowledge is superior to wealth. Knowledge guards you whereas you guard wealth. Wealth decreases with expenditure, whereas knowledge multiplies with dissemination.

PERFECT WISDOM:

    Gandhi /          Professor

A lovely little anecdote, about one of life's more interesting characters : 

When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him. 

Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected, there were always "arguments" and confrontations. One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand.  A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat." 

Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table. 

Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions. Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. 

"Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?" 

Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course." 

Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom." 

Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have." 

Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi.

 Going back in time, even further, we find Socrates....

The 3 Sieves of Socrates

One day, the old wise Socrates walks down the streets, when all of the sudden a man runs up to him "Socrates I have to tell you something about your friend who..." 
"Hold up" Socrates interrupts him "About the story you're about to tell me, did you put it trough the three sieves?"
