[QUEEN OF HEARTS ...]

Why knowledge is better than wealth ??

1. Knowledge is better than wealth because you guard wealth,
whereas knowledge guards you.

2. Knowledge is better than wealth because the wealthy
have enemies and the learned have many friends.

3. Knowledge is better than wealth because the former
is a legacy of the Prophets, and the latter is a heritage
of the Pharaohs.

4. Knowledge is better because it increases with
distribution whereas wealth decreases.

5. Knowledge is better because a wealthy person
generally becomes a miser.

6. Knowledge is better because unlike wealth,
it cannot be stolen.

7. Knowledge is better because the wealthy
person has to give an account of his wealth
on the Day of Judgment.

8. Knowledge is better because it does not deteriorate
on account of time, while wealth does.

9. Knowledge is better because the mind is illuminated
by it, whereas wealth tarnishes it.

10. Knowledge is better than wealth because the
Pharaohs and the non-believers claimed divinity (God)
on account of wealth.
