Knowledge
(page 4)
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.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading.
If four things are followed — having a great aim, acquiring knowledge, hard work, and perseverance — then anything can be achieved.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.
I believe that through knowledge and discipline, financial peace is possible for all of us.
Zeal will do more than knowledge.
Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process.
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.
Over time, naturally, you lose your innocence from gaining knowledge. You can't be innocent forever, but there's something in innocence you need to regain to be creative.
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.
Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree: you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say this we know.
The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.
There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.
