How to find the author of a quote?

Trying to find author of a quote and the second half of the quote. Who said, "Empty thy purse into thy head...

  • This isn't a contest. I am really trying to find a source for the quote above. My grandmother has been looking for 10 years for the author and source of, "Empty thy purse into thy head, and..." I am sorry I forgot the second half of the quote. It is about spending your money wisely on your education. PLEASE, who said it, and any information on a book or web page would be very helpful. My grandmother isn't doing so well, and I would love to "give" this information to her. Thank you!

  • Answer:

    Here's the quote: "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." If you look at the link below, you'll see that this was attributed to Benjamin Franklin in a book of quotations, but that it is unverified.
