Summary

This quote implies that the desire to learn ultimately rests within the mind of the student. Regardless of the claims made by educational systems or teachers, the student will only absorb and accept the knowledge that genuinely stimulates their curiosity and interest. It suggests that true education requires an intrinsic motivation and a genuine thirst for knowledge on the part of the learner. Simply providing information is not enough; the student's receptiveness depends on their own inclination and eagerness to absorb the material being taught.

To be right, a person must do one of two things: either he must learn to have God in his work and hold fast to him there, or he must give up his work altogether.

When, however, you have an enemy, then do not requite him go

When, however, you have an enemy, then do not requite him good for evil: for that would shame him. Instead, prove that he did some good for you. And rather be angry than put to shame! And when you are cursed, I do not like it that you want to bless. Rather curse a little also! And if you are done a great injustice, then quickly add five small ones. Hideous to behold is he who is obsessed with an injustice.
