If knowledge is not democratized, power can never be.
And thou my minde aspire to higher things; Grow rich in that which never taketh rust.
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks; my country is Truth.
knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith
I look for the John Proctor who took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart!
To know others is to have knowledge. To know yourself is to be enlightened.
Poetry and art and knowledge are sacred and pure.
There is so much to read and the days are so short! I get more hungry for knowledge every day, and less able to satisfy my hunger.
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 organizing forces of technological change. . . Engineers operate at the interface between science and society.
Knowledge of facts is important. Knowledge of truth is essential. Yet our Lord's concern goes beyond mere head knowledge. He wants us not only to know the truth but also to obey the truth. He wants us to live the truth, practice the truth, and be conformed to and transformed by that truth.
The knowledge of my sin Is half-repentance.
The world is an illusion. Why is it unreal? Because none of the knowledge is going to remain permanent, as real knowledge. I had a number of identities; I was a child, I was a boy, I was a teenager, I was a middle-aged man, I was an old man. Like other identities I thought would remain constant, they never remained so. Finally, I became very old. . . So which identity remained honest with me?
Knowledge for its own sake was meaningless, its mere accumulation a waste of time. Knowledge must lead to understanding.
Hire and promote first on the basis of integrity; second, motivation; third, capacity; fourth, understanding; fifth, knowledge; and last and least, experience. Without integrity, motivation is dangerous; without motivation, capacity is impotent; without capacity, understanding is limited; without understanding, knowledge is meaningless; without knowledge, experience is blind. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities.
My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.
Anybody or anything may stand between you and knowledge if you are unfit for it.
You do not find knowledge in a dictionary, only information.
People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little. It is plain that an ignorant person thinks everything he does know important, and he tells it to everybody. But a well-educated man is not so ready to display his learning; he would have too much to say, and he sees that there is much more to be said, so he holds his peace.
The auditory perception is not sufficient for our knowledge of the world; it does not have vastness.
To know one's self is wisdom, but to know one's neighbor is genius.
