Quod nova testa capit, inveterata sapit (We best know what we learn first)
Vivere tota vita discendum est ( We are to learn as long as we live)
Verba volant, scripta manent ( Words fly away, writing remains)
Indocti discant et ament meminisse periti
Fas est et ab hoste doceri (Ovid)
Docendo discitur
Hominis dum docent discunt ( While we are teaching we are learning)
