This used to be on the cover of all our books from grade school
through high school. It means: "One who knows is able, from knowledge
an old heart becomes young."

It is only fair if you mention the poet's name, too.

I believe it's by "Amozesh va Parvaresh". At least, this is what appeared
right after the poem. :-)

Chakeram,

P.S. I think we have been lied to. The golden rule(*) is more
applicable.

* : Golden rule: Whomever has the gold hires someone who thinks (s)he
is able 'cause s(he) knows and pays her/him a monthly
insult.
