PART II WEALTH
CHAPTER 40
LEARNING
391. Acquire thoroughly the knowledge that is worth acquiring and after acquiring it walk thou in accordance therewith.
392. Two are the eyes of living kind : the one is called Numbers, and the other, Letters.
393. The learned alone can be said to possess eyes : the unlettered have but two sores in their head.
394. The scholar bringeth joy with him wherever he cometh : but when he departeth he leaveth regrets behind.
395. Though thou hast to humble thyself before the teacher even as a beggar before a man of wealth thou yet acquirest learning : it is those that refuse to learn that are the lowest among men.
