If there are no students, there are no sages

If there are no students, there are no sages

To become wise, one must first be a student. It is necessary to invest in students so that eventually there will be sages.

(So said Ahaz: If there are no kids, there are no goats...if there are no young ones, there are no students, if there are no students, there are no sages" - Genesis Rabbah (Vilna), Parashat Lech Lecha, section 42:3)

Definition (Hebrew)

בִּכְדֵי לִהְיוֹת חָכָם יֵשׁ לִהְיוֹת קֹדֶם תַּלְמִיד. יֵשׁ לְהַשְׁקִיעַ בְּתַלְמִידִים כְּדֵי שֶׁלְּבַסּוֹף יִהְיוּ חֲכָמִים.

(כָּךְ אָמַר אָחָז: אִם אֵין גְּדָיִים אֵין תְּיָשִׁים...אִם אֵין קְטַנִּים אֵין תַּלְמִידִים, אִם אֵין תַּלְמִידִים אֵין חֲכָמִים"- בְּרֵאשִׁית רַבָּה (וִילְנָא) פָּרָשַׁת לֵךְ לְךָ פָּרָשָׁה מב ג")
