“If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”-- Benjamin Franklin
This statement is as true today as it was during Benjamin Franklin's time. An investment in knowledge truly does pay the best interest, not only for individuals, but also for the community at large. In other words, if you receive a good education, no one can take it away from you. Investing in knowledge today can make your dreams come true tomorrow.
