君子曰：学不可以已。 青，取之于蓝，而青于蓝；冰，水为之，而寒于水。木直中绳，輮以为轮，其曲中规。虽有槁暴，不复挺者，輮使之然也。故木受绳则直，金就砺则利，君子博学而日参省乎己，则知明而行无过矣。

发奋忘食，乐以忘优，不知老之将至。

知者不惑，仁者不忧，勇者不惧。

温故而知新，可以为师矣。

工欲善其事，必先利其器。

敏而好学，不耻下问，是以谓之‘文’也。

学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

由！诲女知之乎！知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。

见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。

默而识之，学而不厌，诲人不倦，何有于我哉！

吾尝终日而思矣，不如须臾之所学也；吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。登高而招，臂非加长也，而见者远；顺风而呼，声非加疾也，而闻者彰。假舆马者，非利足也，而致千里；假舟楫者，非能水也，而绝江河。君子生非异也，善假于物也。

学之经莫速乎好其人，隆礼次之。上不能好其人，下不能隆礼，安特将学杂识志，顺诗书而已耳。则末世穷年，不免为陋儒而已。将原先王，本仁义，则礼正其经纬蹊径也。若挈裘领，诎五指而顿之，顺者不可胜数也。

不道礼宪，以诗书为之，譬之犹以指测河也，以戈舂黍也，以锥餐壶也，不可以得之矣。故隆礼，虽未明，法士也；不隆礼，虽察辩，散儒也。

君子知夫不全不粹之不足以为美也，故诵数以贯之，思索以通之，为其人以处之，除其害者以持养之。使目非是无欲见也，使耳非是无欲闻也，使口非是无欲言也，使心非是无欲虑也。及至其致好之也，目好之五色，耳好之五声，口好之五味，心利之有天下。

是故权利不能倾也，群众不能移也，天下不能荡也。生乎由是，死乎由是，夫是之谓德操。德操然后能定，能定然后能应。能定能应，夫是之谓成人。天见其明，地见其光，君子贵其全也。

三更灯火五更鸡，正是男儿读书时。黑发不知勤学早，白首方悔读书迟。

古人学问无遗力，少壮工夫老始成。

少年辛苦终身事，莫向光阴惰寸功。

少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。

业精于勤荒于嬉，行成于思毁于随。

聪明出于勤奋，天才在于积累。

人生在勤，不索何获。

书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟。

人的大脑和肢体一样，多用则灵，不用则废。

非学无以广才，非志无以成学。

发奋识遍天下字，立志读尽人间书。

在寻求真理的长河中，唯有学习，不断地学习，勤奋地学习，有创造性地学习，才能越重山跨峻岭。

好好学习，天天向上。

如果把生活比喻为创作的意境，那么阅读就像阳光。

静以修身，俭以养德，非淡泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。

读一书，增一智。

不吃饭则饥，不读书则愚。

书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。

人永远是要学习的。死的时候，才是毕业的时候。

少而好学，如日出之阳；壮而好学，如日中之光；老而好学，如炳烛之明。

学无止境。

In life as in art the beautiful moves in curves.

How I feel about myself is more important than how I look. Feeling confident, being comfortable in your skin, that's what really makes you beautiful.

Have fun, work hard and money will come. Don't waste time - grab your chances. Have a positive outlook on life. When it's not fun, move on.

Ive been in every disco in the world. I saw a picture of my wife Shakira and I dancing in Studio 54 I didnt even know someone had taken that picture.

I have a lot of disrespect for people who cheat. I feel like if you're in a position in a relationship where you want to see other people, and the opportunity to cheat comes up, don't.

'Chamalkay' is an old Guyanese slang word. It means a 'young mischievous girl.' It's not derogatory, but it isn't over complimentary, either. It was probably a word I just Googled one day, and the song kind of played into the feel of that.

Character is ethics in action.

A guy like Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather is used to fighting 12-rounders. Put them into the ring for three rounds against a top amateur boxer at a much faster pace, and they'll lose a fight, and how bad is that going to make them look?

I like having those preseason games and exhibitions to really get ready for the regular season and get yourself off to a good start.

If you are not rising with ethics you will sink with every rise

When I do my shows, it's really cross-generational. Sometimes there's three generations there.

Don't wait for your ship to come in - swim out to it.

I fell in love with playing the trumpet because of what we call 'hot jazz' of the 1920s and 1930s, music that has a higher energy to it.
