Proper knowledge is the summit reached after following certain procedures. It is not the mere reception of information from others; it also has to do with displaying what you know to others.

Proper knowledge prepares one for life, and helps one face the realities of life.

Proper knowledge means the ability to change and improve life. If one wishes to understand whether a form of knowledge is the proper one, one needs to look whether that particular form has the ability to change and improve life. If it does, then that is proper knowledge.

Education puts the hands, words and ears of the man into action. Science puts the mind into action. Proper knowledge puts these into a coherent unity and moves them in directions related to life.

Science means taking information from others and using it for oneself.

Proper knowledge means giving information from oneself, and creating from within. The greatest miracle is the mind given to man. Proper knowledge can release that power and make it apparent.

Proper knowledge is the freedom of the mind.

It is never too late to learn science. The mind does not grow old as the body does. The longer one lives, the more sophisticated the mind becomes.

The teacher is superior to the student. For a student receives training for a couple of years only, but the teacher is engaged in education for a lifetime.

The best teacher is the one that learns when teaching.
