No person was ever honored for what he received.  Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933) was the 30th President of the United States, who served from 1923 to 1929.
