We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.[Samuel Johnson] Quote:If we did not bring to the examinations of our instincts a knowledge of their comparative dignity we could never learn it from them.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:Information is not knowledge.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.[Jimi Hendrix] Quote:The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.[Mark Twain] Quote:There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.[Socrates] Quote:It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Where knowledge ends, religion begins.[Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men.[Albert Einstein] Quote:To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty...this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.[Albert Einstein] Quote:If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind.[Ayn Rand] Quote:Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.[Thomas Aquinas] Quote:Knowledge that is paid for will be longer remembered.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Unless the religious claims of the Bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, I think, be given only 'mouth honour' and that decreasingly.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.[Albert Einstein] Quote:All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions.[Leonardo da Vinci] Quote:A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.[James Madison] Quote:It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence.[John Adams] Quote:Knowledge is not wisdom, unless used wisely.[J.D. Anderson] Quote:Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.[Plato] Quote:Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Every extension of knowledge arises from making the conscious the unconscious.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus? We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 3:22. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that? "Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever." A definitive Yahweh no-no. Be good to yourself, go out and plant a wet one on a tree. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:Modesty is a shining light; it prepares the mind to receive knowledge, and the heart for truth. [Mark Twain] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living. [Nicholas Chamfort] Quote:If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance. [Hippocrates] Quote:It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge. [Frank Herbert] Quote:If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. [Isaac Asimov] Quote:When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge. [Confucius] Quote:I ask you to look both ways. For the road to a knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:Imagination is more important than knowledge... [Albert Einstein] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof. [J. K. Rowling] Quote:I've arrived at this outermost edge of my life by my own actions. Where I am is thoroughly unacceptable. Therefore, I must stop doing what I've been doing. [Aristotle] Quote:All men by nature desire knowledge. [Aristotle] Quote:The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man. [Euripides] Quote:To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
