Knowledge
(page 4)
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.
Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
I wouldn't wish any specific thing for any specific person - it's none of my business. But the idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane. It's insane.

Give, give, give — what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.
Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth.
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
I remember from my school days Archimedes jumping into his bath and displacing water and coming up with his famous principle, and of course Isaac Newton being hit on the head with an apple. In other words, this realm of human knowledge — which is mathematical, essentially — can have a playful visual element to it.
Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
