An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON STUDENTS
Our delight in any particular study, art, or science rises and improves in proportion to the application which we bestow upon it. Thus, what was at first an exercise becomes at length an entertainment.

I would live to study, and not study to live.

The greatest significance of the present student generation is that it is through them that the point of view of the subjugated is finally and inexorably being expressed.

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-, American poet)
For the high achievers, studying gave them the pleasing, absorbing challenge to flow 40 percent of the hours they spent at it. But for low achievers, studying produced flow only 16 percent of the time; more often that not, it yielded anxiety, with the demands outreaching their abilities
Daniel Goleman (American editor, author)
The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894, American author, wit, poet)
