Knowledge is like a tree.
You need to plant the seed and nurture it.
Little by little the tree gets bigger and grows strong roots into the ground.
Eventually it not only gives us protection, but some also give us fruit.
You also need to plant the seed of knowledge into the minds of children.
Nurture it and the child will also have strong roots in the future and even the harshest winds won’t be able to bring it down.
If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.
Lord Chesterfield
