Louis Lamour got it right this time

"The best of all things is to learn. Money can be lost or stolen, health and strength may fail, but what you have committed to your mind is yours forever." (from The Walking Drum)

Provided, of course, that what you are leaning is the truth. Compare it with Proverbs: "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold."

Louis' philosophical pronouncements are sometimes suspect, but this time he got it right.
