“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere” – Chinese Proverb

A teacher was angry because all of his pupils were distracted. They were looking out of the window onto the garden. When he looked outside he saw a boy who pleaded him to let him follow the lesson from outside as his father did not have enough money to pay for him to study. The teacher did not send him away but paid for his studies instead. That poor boy who really wanted to learn became one of the best Italian historians: Ludovico Antonio Muratori (1672 – 1750).
