A scholar is like a book written in a dead language. It is not every one that can read in it.
William Hazlitt
People often become scholars for the same reason they become soldiers: simply because they are unfit for any other station. Their right hand has to earn them a livelihood; one might say they lie down like bears in winter and seek sustenance from their paws.
G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
One cannot demand of a scholar that he show himself a scholar everywhere in society, but the whole tenor of his behavior must none the less betray the thinker, he must always be instructive, his way of judging a thing must even in the smallest matters be such that people can see what it will amount to when, quietly and self-collected, he puts this power to scholarly use.
In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power, we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning.
Jean Baudrillard
The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
G. W. F. Hegel
Scholarship except by accident is never the measure of a person's power.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.
Leonard Cohen
