| Kevin Mitnick | It's kind of interesting, because hacking is a skill that could be used for criminal purposes or legitimate purposes, and so even though in the past I was hacking for the curiosity, and the thrill, to get a bite of the forbidden fruit of knowledge, I'm now working in the security field as a public speaker. | 101 |
| Kofi Annan | Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family. | 101 |

| Dave Ramsey | The thing I have discovered about working with personal finance is that the good news is that it is not rocket science. Personal finance is about 80 percent behavior. It is only about 20 percent head knowledge. | 101 |
| David Bohm | The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained. | 101 |
| Denis Diderot | There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. | 101 |

| Herbert Spencer | The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. | 101 |

| Nate Silver | Distinguishing the signal from the noise requires both scientific knowledge and self-knowledge. | 101 |

| Robert Fulghum | 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. | 101 |
| Talcott Parsons | But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory. | 101 |
| Tom Clancy | The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people. | 101 |
| Walter Mosley | When you deal with a person who's experiencing dementia, you can see where they're struggling with knowledge. You can see what they forget completely, what they forget but they know what they once knew. You can tell how they're trying to remember. | 101 |
| Wislawa Szymborska | Any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life. | 101 |

| Ethel Watts Mumford | Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person. | 101 |
| Francesco Quinn | What I'd like to pass on to my children is the thirst for knowledge. It's something I experience every day that I learned from my father. He always taught me that no matter how long you've done something, you can always learn something new and be better at what you do. | 101 |
| Frank Carlucci | My understanding is that what was provided was general order of battle information, not operational intelligence. I certainly have no knowledge of US participation in preparing battle and strike packages and doubt strongly that that occurred. | 101 |

| Jan Hus | I entreat masters to live a good life and faithfully to instruct their scholars, especially that they may love God and learn to give themselves to knowledge, in order to promote His honour, the welfare of the state, and their own salvation, but not for the sake of avarice or the praise of man. | 101 |
| James Altucher | Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck. | 101 |
| John Archibald Wheeler | We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance. | 101 |
| Li Ka-shing | We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress. | 101 |
| Neal Patterson | Cerner's focus over the last 20 years has been to provide healthcare, predominately healthcare providers, with advanced clinical and management information systems. Our mission is to connect the appropriate persons, knowledge, and resources at the appropriate time and location to achieve the optimal health outcome. | 101 |
| Patrick Soon-Shiong | The idea would be in my mind - and I know it sounds strange - is that the most important advances in medicine would be made not by new knowledge in molecular biology, because that's exceeding what we can even use. It'll be made by mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, figuring out a way to get all that information together. | 101 |
| Paul Kalanithi | What patients seek is not scientific knowledge that doctors hide, but existential authenticity each person must find on her own... the angst of facing mortality has no remedy in probability. | 101 |

| Randeep Hooda | Knowledge is power. You can't begin a career, for that matter even a relationship, unless you know everything there is to know about it. | 101 |
| Robert Crumb | I would call myself a Gnostic. Which means, I'm interested in pursuing and understanding the spiritual nature of things. A Gnostic is somebody seeking knowledge of that aspect of reality. | 101 |

| William A. Dembski | I'm not saying that atheists can't act morally or have moral knowledge. But when I ascribe virtue to an atheist, it's as a theist who sees the atheist as conforming to objective moral values. The atheist, by contrast, has no such basis for morality. And yet all moral judgments require a basis for morality, some standard of right and wrong. | 101 |
| William Holden | Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn't want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer. | 101 |
| Afrika Bambaataa | I'd like to see people pay attention to the science of hip hop. The knowledge part, the political side of what hip hop could do, or where hip hop is gonna go. I always say it's gonna become universal as we become a galactic union. | 101 |
| Augustus Hare | Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. | 101 |
| Conrad Black | A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith; spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism; and moral relativism, taken outside midfield, leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness, which are often identical. | 101 |
| Daniel Akaka | I have witnessed how education opens doors, and I know that when sound instruction takes place, students experience the joys of new-found knowledge and the ability to excel. | 101 |
| Edward Levi | The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge. | 101 |
| Fannie Farmer | I certainly feel that the time is not far distant when a knowledge of the principles of diet will be an essential part of one's education. Then mankind will eat to live, be able to do better mental and physical work and disease will be less frequent. | 101 |
| Harrison Salisbury | Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training. | 101 |
| Heidi Hayes Jacobs | As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes? | 101 |
| Henry Gray | Surgical Anatomy is, to the student of medicine and surgery, the most essential branch of anatomical science, having reference more especially to an accurate knowledge of the more important regions, and consisting in the application of anatomy generally to the practice of surgery. | 101 |
| Leila Aboulela | The coverage of Islam in the media is becoming more sophisticated, and there is more access to knowledge. | 101 |
| Michael Ramsey | Reason is an action of the mind; knowledge is a possession of the mind; but faith is an attitude of the person. It means you are prepared to stake yourself on something being so. | 101 |
| Neil Harbisson | If we extend our senses, then, consequently, we will extend our knowledge. It's really very basic. | 101 |
| Petra Nemcova | We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness. | 101 |
| Rhianna Pratchett | A lot of young girls don't realise how diverse the career opportunities are in games development. Many think that you need elite math skills and a vast knowledge of all things tech to work in games, and haven't thought about avenues like design, producing, art, writing or composing. | 101 |
| Robert Staughton Lynd | Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with. | 101 |
| Stephen Ambrose | The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future. | 101 |

| Thomas Berger | The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. | 101 |
| Will Harvey | What is research but a blind date with knowledge? | 101 |

| Robert Andrews Millikan | Fullness of knowledge always means some understanding of the depths of our ignorance; and that is always conducive to humility and reverence. | 101 |
| Sam Weller | Browsing for books with a mouse and screen is not nearly as joyful an act as wandering the stacks and getting lost in the labyrinthine corridors of knowledge. The best libraries are places of imagination, education and community. The best libraries have mystery to them. | 101 |
| Trofim Lysenko | A theoretical grounding in agronomy must, therefore, include knowledge of biological laws. | 101 |
| Albert J. Nock | Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion. | 101 |
| David Weinberger | We've known for a long time, and I think culturally we've accepted, that diversity is an important thing in the work of knowledge. | 101 |
| Don Tapscott | In one sense, the Internet is like the discovery of the printing press, only it's very different. The printing press gave us access to recorded knowledge. The Internet gives us access, not just to knowledge, but to the intelligence contained in people's crania, access to the intelligence of people on a global basis. | 101 |
| George Reisman | Whoever claims that economic competition represents 'survival of the fittest' in the sense of the law of the jungle, provides the clearest possible evidence of his lack of knowledge of economics. | 101 |
| James Smithson | It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness, the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him, and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him, no error without evil. | 101 |
| Jay Griffiths | Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin. But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence. | 101 |
| Joe Mantegna | I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can. | 101 |
| John Charles Polanyi | Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge. | 101 |
| John Naisbitt | We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge. | 101 |
| Joseph Haydn | I listened more than I studied... therefore little by little my knowledge and ability were developed. | 101 |
| James F. Cooper | Knowledge is the parent of knowledge. He who possesses most of the information of his age will not quietly submit to neglect its current acquisitions, but will go on improving as long as means and opportunities offer; while he who finds himself ignorant of most things, is only too apt to shrink from a labour which becomes Herculean. | 101 |
| Levi Woodbury | It is essential to the pure and peaceful administration of justice that all its officers keep carefully within the boundaries of their constitutional powers. Auxiliary to this, but not secondary in importance, is a due knowledge of the leading subjects for their inquiry and decision. | 101 |
| Maria Monk | All around me insisted that my doubts proved only my own ignorance and sinfulness; that they knew by experience they would soon give place to true knowledge, and an advance in religion; and I felt something like indecision. | 101 |
| Andrew Coyle Bradley | Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge. | 101 |
| Barbara McClintock | If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say. | 101 |
| Conrad Burns | Knowledge is power. Most of us agree that something has to be done to strengthen Social Security, and I believe it's irresponsible to arbitrarily dismiss any idea, Republican nor Democrat, without giving it a hard look. | 101 |
| David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury of Turville | If you know your life chances are greatly reduced, should you be in a position to take out life insurance if that knowledge is not available to the insurers? | 101 |
| Erna Solberg | The future of Norway isn't about competing on being the cheapest but the most innovative. We have an expensive welfare state, and the only answer to continue that way is to become more competitive, especially on knowledge. | 101 |
| Ernst Kaltenbrunner | I have done my duty by the laws of my people and I am sorry my people were led this time by men who were not soldiers and that crimes were committed of which I had no knowledge. | 101 |
| Michael Polanyi | I shall suggest, on the contrary, that all communication relies, to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell, and that all our knowledge of mental processes, like feelings or conscious intellectual activities, is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell. | 101 |
| Richard Cecil | The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant. | 101 |
| Robert Love | Learn when and how to use different data structures and their algorithms in your own code. This is harder as a student, as the problem assignments you'll work through just won't impart this knowledge. That's fine. | 101 |
| Sidney Hook | Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values. | 101 |
| Steve Finley | Being part of the Fresh Healthy Vending team and the corporate-owned operations division has been incredible thus far. It has given me enough knowledge to take the important facts about healthy vending options to my own personal and professional contacts and expand these positive programs wherever we can. | 101 |
| Tom Sharpe | If a little knowledge was a dangerous thing, a lot was lethal. | 101 |
| Charles Leadbeater | You can go online now and find really thoughtful, in-depth, considered, well-informed communities around virtually any issue. If it's your issue, there are now new ways of mobilising knowledge that weren't there before. There are real bodies of significant knowledge on the web that are valuable that we haven't done nearly enough with. | 101 |
| Roger Bacon | For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics. | 101 |
| Rush D. Holt, Jr. | We know Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin as politicians, but they felt that science was something everyone should have a knowledge of. | 101 |
| Archibald Hill | The pursuit of natural knowledge, the investigation of the world - mental and material - in which we live, is not a dull and spiritless affair: rather is it a voyage of adventure of the human mind, a holiday for reckless and imaginative souls. | 101 |
| Arthur Machen | Every branch of human knowledge, if traced up to its source and final principles, vanishes into mystery. | 101 |
| DeWitt Clinton | Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration. | 101 |
| Douglas Engelbart | In 20 or 30 years, you'll be able to hold in your hand as much computing knowledge as exists now in the whole city, or even the whole world. | 101 |
| John Holt | Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned. | 101 |
| Moza bint Nasser | We believe... that by encouraging critical thinking and processing of knowledge we are creating full, well-rounded human beings... that will enable Qatar to build up its society. You cannot build a healthy society without giving your citizens a sense of ownership. Otherwise, they will not share with you the responsibilities. | 101 |
| Ralph Cudworth | Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within. | 101 |
| Ralph Thomas Walker | When I severe my connections with the A.I.A. I do so with my own self respect, as a matter of pride and I am sure within your knowledge of my character. | 101 |
| Richard Blumenthal | Generally, social networking sites can be hugely promising and beneficial in opening new friendships and vistas and knowledge of the world, but they are also fraught with peril, when young people are reckless or headless. | 101 |
| Abdullah Ibrahim | When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self. Place is resolution. | 101 |
| Alban Berg | Music is at once the product of feeling and knowledge, for it requires from its disciples, composers and performers alike, not only talent and enthusiasm, but also that knowledge and perception which are the result of protracted study and reflection. | 101 |
| Jeff Mangum | I have a very limited knowledge of recording, but the miracle of being able to capture sounds on magnetic tape and the miracle of electricity, and these little magnetic particles, is amazing to me. | 101 |
| Jon Kyl | One of the things that makes our military the best in the world is the certain knowledge of each soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine that they can always count on their comrades should they need help - that they will never be abandoned. | 101 |
| Margaret Murray | The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development. | 101 |
| Janice Hahn | I hope to be the go-to person on international trade and industry. I think no one before me or after me will ever have so much knowledge about America's ports. | 101 |
| Juan Enriquez | The margin for making mistakes has gotten much smaller. In a commodity economy, it's hard to kill off your business. You still have the mine. You still have oil wells. You can always rebuild. In a knowledge economy, if you make a mistake, you're in trouble. | 101 |
| James Prescott Joule | After the knowledge of, and obedience to, the will of God, the next aim must be to know something of His attributes of wisdom, power, and goodness as evidenced by His handiwork. | 101 |
| John Wilbanks | No pharmaceutical company is making money by selling biological knowledge - they make money by selling chemicals. So getting as much of that knowledge as possible into the efficiency of the Web-commerce world is going to make it faster to find those chemicals. | 101 |
| Francis Bacon | Knowledge is power. | 102 |
| Immanuel Kant | It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience. | 102 |
| Warren Buffett | Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. | 102 |

| Jean Piaget | The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things. | 102 |
| Abraham Cowley | Solitude can be used well by very few people. They who do must have a knowledge of the world to see the foolishness of it, and enough virtue to despise all the vanity. | 102 |
| Abraham Joshua Heschel | Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge. | 102 |
| Ariana Grande | Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what's going to happen. It's one of the most beautiful things in life, but it's one of the most terrifying. It's worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories. | 102 |
| Celine Dion | There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty. | 102 |
| Daniel J. Boorstin | The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge. | 102 |

| David Bailey | The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading. | 102 |
| Ellsworth Huntington | No part of the world can be truly understood without a knowledge of its garment of vegetation, for this determines not only the nature of the animal inhabitants but also the occupations of the majority of human beings. | 102 |
| Harvey Cushing | In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers. | 102 |
| Issa Rae | It's a bit cliche, but you can't go wrong by writing what you know. Even if you're a horrible writer, your own knowledge and experience is unrivaled. Nobody knows what you know like you know what you know. The way you see things is pretty unique. | 102 |
| Karl Jaspers | Even scientific knowledge, if there is anything to it, is not a random observation of random objects; for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action. | 102 |
| Okky Madasari | 'Orientalism' has successfully built my critical awareness to question and see the big picture of knowledge, perspective or idea from a Western point of view and always see things from different perspective. | 102 |
| Richard Avedon | A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks. | 102 |
| Thucydides | Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved. | 102 |
| Ahmed Zewail | Personally, I have been enriched by my experiences in Egypt and America, and feel fortunate to have been endowed with a true passion for knowledge. | 102 |

| Brad Sherman | If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge. | 102 |
| Brian O'Driscoll | Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. | 102 |
| Bruce Lipton | The planet's hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science. | 102 |
| Carroll Quigley | This persistence as private firms continued because it ensured the maximum of anonymity and secrecy to persons of tremendous public power who dreaded public knowledge of their activities as an evil almost as great as inflation. | 102 |
| George Boole | Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. | 102 |
| Kamisese Mara | The family teaches us about the importance of knowledge, education, hard work and effort. It teaches us about enjoying ourselves, having fun, keeping fit and healthy. | 102 |
| Klaus Fuchs | The Communist Party said that I must finish my studies because after the revolution in Germany people would be required with technical knowledge to take part in the building of the Communist Germany. | 102 |
| Marilu Henner | It is now common knowledge that the average American gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. | 102 |
| Niger Innis | The purposeful restriction of knowledge has been at the heart of untold misery and hardship in this world. Serfs were kept illiterate so as to not jeopardize the feudal system. Slaves were kept in the dark on a variety of subjects so as to not provide them the possibility of escape. | 102 |
| Peter Agre | Written in 1895, Alfred Nobel's will endowed prizes for scientific research in chemistry, physics, and medicine. At that time, these fields were narrowly defined, and researchers were often classically trained in only one discipline. In the late 19th century, knowledge of science was not a requisite for success in other walks of life. | 102 |
| Ruben Blades | I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance. | 102 |

| Charles Morgan | As knowledge increases, wonder deepens. | 102 |
| Daniel Alarcon | I do feel fortunate to have some knowledge of the great Latin American writers, including some that are probably not that well known in English. I'm thinking of Jose Maria Arguedas, whom I read when I was living in Lima, and who really impacted the way I viewed my country. | 102 |
| Henry James Sumner Maine | It is true that the aristocracies seem to have abused their monopoly of legal knowledge; and at all events their exclusive possession of the law was a formidable impediment to the success of those popular movements which began to be universal in the western world. | 102 |
| N. Scott Momaday | I have a pretty good knowledge of the Indian world by virtue of living on several different reservations and being exposed to several different cultures and languages. | 102 |

| Thomas Reid | There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words. | 102 |
| Ada Yonath | People always talk about the implication and applications of a process, but for me, the goal is purely about knowledge. Knowledge can become practical today, in 20 years, or in 500 years. Ask Newton. He didn't know there would be space research based on his accident with the apple. | 102 |
| Bill Veeck | I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats. | 102 |
| Cardinal Richelieu | To know how to dissimulate is the knowledge of kings. | 102 |
| Cedric Richmond | These past years, as we have been recovering and given our city a rebirth, we have been encouraged by our faith, knowledge, and steadfast belief that we will pull through. There will be challenges and setbacks, as there have already been, but we will continue, and we the citizens of New Orleans will prevail in bringing our city back. | 102 |
| Georges St-Pierre | The more knowledge you get, the more questions you ask. The smarter you get, the more you realize that everything can be possible. | 102 |
| Jean-Francois Lyotard | Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorised in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. | 102 |
| Polykarp Kusch | If, on occasion, the knowledge brought by science leads to an unhappy end, this is not to the discredit of science but is rather an indication of an imperfect ability to use wisely the gifts placed within our hands. | 102 |
| Said Sayrafiezadeh | I have no personal experience in the military. All I know about it is what I've seen in movies and read in books and watched on television. My knowledge is probably no more or no less than the average person's. 'A Brief Encounter with the Enemy' was created by taking bits and pieces from here and there, and then putting my own spin on them. | 102 |
| Thomas Bulfinch | Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education. | 102 |
| Tobey Maguire | I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life. | 102 |
| Alan Huffman | In our quest to define and describe the world, we have crisscrossed the oceans and continents, compiling exhaustive knowledge about its life forms and features, and extended our physical reach through technology, which provides us instantaneous and pervasive access to information about seemingly everything. | 102 |
| Brooks Atkinson | It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge. | 102 |
| Clifford Stoll | Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom. | 102 |
| Jacob Bronowski | Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty. | 102 |
| John Cameron | When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics. | 102 |
| Patanjali | Knowledge born of the finest discrimination takes us to the farthest shore. It is intuitive, omniscient, and beyond all divisions of time and space. | 102 |
| Sharon Lawrence | You always get things that teach you and steps to grow, but there is a confidence that is gained and a deep understanding of what it means to be supported by your knowledge - not by some team that is there to create confidence; it is there within you. That takes time. That takes teachers. That takes taking risks. | 102 |
| Stanley B. Prusiner | While it is quite reasonable for scientists to be skeptical of new ideas that do not fit within the accepted realm of scientific knowledge, the best science often emerges from situations where results carefully obtained do not fit within the accepted paradigms. | 102 |
| C. V. Raman | In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge. | 102 |
| Sydney Madwed | If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom. | 102 |
| Steve Berry | When I wrote 'The Alexandria Link,' I discovered that we are only aware of about 10 percent of the knowledge of the ancient world. In the ancient world, most of the knowledge was destroyed. Every emperor of China who came in wiped out everything that came before them, to the point that the country completely forgot its past. | 102 |
| Adam Ross | In a crazy way, writing is a lot like any kind of very complex game - like chess, where you have the knowledge as you're composing all of the ramifications of each move, of each choice you make. | 102 |
| Mark Pagel | Having culture means we are the only animal that acquires the rules of its daily living from the accumulated knowledge of our ancestors, rather than from the genes they pass to us. | 102 |
| Robert Quillen | Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance. | 102 |
| A. E. Waite | Behind the man is the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman; the serpent is twining round it. | 102 |
| Charles Taze Russell | To me it seems as plain as can be that the Bible declares that all the wicked will God destroy; again, that those who, during the Millennial age when brought to a knowledge of the truth, shall prove willful sinners will be punished with everlasting destruction. | 102 |
| Daniel Bernoulli | There is no philosophy which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician. | 102 |
| John Sergeant Wise | And let me tell you, you boys of America, that there is no higher inspiration to any man to be a good man, a good citizen, and a good son, brother, or father, than the knowledge that you come from honest blood. | 102 |
| Ralph Thomas Walker | May I say, finally, that I have no illusions of grandeur; quite to the contrary, I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good. | 102 |
| Justin Rosenstein | In a knowledge economy, natural selection favors organizations that can most effectively harness and coordinate collective intellectual energy and creative capacity. | 102 |
| Mary Kay Blakely | The absolute dependence of a newborn infant inspired many things in me, but it did not activate any magical knowledge about what to do for the next twenty years. | 102 |
| Roald Amundsen | We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South. | 102 |
| Anson Jones | It is only requisite, for me to say to you, that the President places great reliance upon your skill, judgment and intimate knowledge. | 102 |
| Judith Miller | You become an expert by working hard. We've got fantastic museums, collections and antique shows. You can go and just start looking. That's the great thing about knowledge. If you collect Doulton figures, you know about the rare ones. | 102 |
| Jeremy Collier | Knowledge is the consequence of time, and multitude of days are fittest to teach wisdom. | 102 |
| Jane Porter | Imparting knowledge is only lighting other men's candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame. | 102 |
| John Tyndall | Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries. | 102 |
| Jean Piaget | Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next. | 103 |
| Alfred Nobel | One can state, without exaggeration, that the observation of and the search for similarities and differences are the basis of all human knowledge. | 103 |
| Barry White | I'll come to you with gifts of knowledge, wisdom and truth. | 103 |
| Ben Horowitz | A good engineering interview will include some set of difficult problems to solve. It might even require that the candidate write a short program. In addition, it will test the candidate's knowledge of the tools she uses in great depth. | 103 |
| Herbert A. Simon | Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational. | 103 |
| Herbert Spencer | When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion. | 103 |
| Marilyn vos Savant | To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe. | 103 |
| Maynard James Keenan | If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets. | 103 |
| Orville Wright | With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe. | 103 |
| Paul Davies | Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. | 103 |
| Ramakrishna | If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you. | 103 |
| Roy H. Williams | Have you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser. | 103 |
| Stephen Gardiner | The greater the step forward in knowledge, the greater is the one taken backward in search of wisdom. | 103 |
| Vikas Swarup | Knowledge is not just the preserve of the educated elite. Just because someone has not had a formal education, that does not mean he does not have wisdom and common sense. | 103 |
| William Dunbar | Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive. | 103 |
| William S. Burroughs | The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. | 103 |
| Yochai Benkler | Next time you open the paper, and you see an intellectual property decision, a telecoms decision, it's not about something small and technical. It is about the future of the freedom to be as social beings with each other, and the way information, knowledge and culture will be produced. | 103 |
| Bob Kerrey | There is no force more liberating than the knowledge that you are fighting for others. | 103 |
| Dusty Baker | I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency, mental strength and accuracy. | 103 |
| Enrico Fermi | It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge. | 103 |
| Hannes Alfven | To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science. | 103 |
| Henry Mayhew | The deductive method is the mode of using knowledge, and the inductive method the mode of acquiring it. | 103 |
| Janet Jackson | In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you. | 103 |
| John Wycliffe | In order to the existence of such a ministry in the Church, there is requisite an authority received from God, and consequently power and knowledge imparted from God for the exercise of such ministry; and where a man possesses these, although the bishop has not laid hands upon him according to his traditions, God has Himself appointed him. | 103 |
| Lafcadio Hearn | A great many things which in times of lesser knowledge we imagined to be superstitious or useless, prove today on examination to have been of immense value to mankind. | 103 |
| Margaret Spellings | I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap. | 103 |
| Paul Kalanithi | Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still, it is never complete. | 103 |
| Pierre Curie | Is it right to probe so deeply into Nature's secrets? The question must here be raised whether it will benefit mankind, or whether the knowledge will be harmful. | 103 |
| Robert Anthony | Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle. | 103 |
| Adam D'Angelo | A lot of people really like to answer questions, and they really enjoy sharing their knowledge. Especially people who have valuable knowledge. | 103 |
| Chris Jordan | I hate the word 'rendering,' as it equates to 'pouring concrete' on ideas that demand continuing dialog. 'Trade secrets' imply hoarding of knowledge. | 103 |
| Cobi Jones | I am excited to bring my deep knowledge, passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level, and I want to make history with them. | 103 |
| Edith Hamilton | A people's literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can. | 103 |
| Giuseppe Zanotti | The place where I think social media fails is in showing the knowledge, the tradition of stitching the clothing, of cutting the fabric, of the tannery, of the skinning of the jewels - this knowledge needs respect. Online and social media is the future, but we need to learn from the past, too. | 103 |
| Kelsey Grammer | The greatest sin is judgment without knowledge. | 103 |
| Marie Osmond | I don't claim to know everything. I claim to be a seeker of knowledge. | 103 |
| Reid Scott | The secret to my 5 o'clock shadow is a little device called the George Michael 3000 Custom Beard Trimmer and Personal Massager. Just kidding. I actually shave every morning, and thanks to my vast knowledge of Eastern philosophy and mysticism, I will my facial hair to grow to the exact same length each day. Dave Grohl taught me that one. | 103 |
| Simon Greenleaf | The foundation of our religion is a basis of fact - the fact of the birth, ministry, miracles, death, resurrection by the Evangelists as having actually occurred, within their own personal knowledge. | 103 |
| Steve Sabol | I think in the NFL knowledge is power, and you try to get the knowledge by whatever means. | 103 |
| William Moulton Marston | Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken. | 103 |
| Andy Grammer | Well, there are two kinds of happiness, grounded and ungrounded. Ungrounded happiness is cheesy and not based on reality. Grounded happiness is informed happiness based on the knowledge that the world sometimes sucks, but even then you have to believe in yourself. | 103 |
| Ann Druyan | My knowledge of science came from being with Carl, not from formal academic training. Carl gave me a thrilling tutorial in science and math that lasted the 20 years we were together. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Hardwick | The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Kapu'uwailani Lindsey | I believe that when an elder dies, a library is burned: vast sums of wisdom and knowledge are lost. Throughout the world libraries are ablaze with scant attention. | 103 |
| Guo Guangchang | We have in-depth knowledge about Chinese industries. We know what's driving the country's economic growth. | 103 |
| Polykarp Kusch | I feel, sometimes, as the renaissance man must have felt in finding new riches at every point and in the certainty that unexplored areas of knowledge and experience await at every turn. | 103 |
| Richard Ben-Veniste | Without the tape-recorded evidence demonstrating irrefutably, in Nixon's own voice, his knowledge of and active involvement in obstruction of justice, it is likely that Nixon would have escaped impeachment and removal from office. | 103 |
| Thomas Bulfinch | Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. | 103 |
| Amy Waldman | Religious speech is extreme, emotional, and motivational. It is anti-literal, relying on metaphor, allusion, and other rhetorical devices, and it assumes knowledge within a community of believers. | 103 |
| Bede Griffiths | God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything. | 103 |
| Dorothy Denning | While many hackers have the knowledge, skills, and tools to attack computer systems, they generally lack the motivation to cause violence or severe economic or social harm. | 103 |
| James L. Farmer, Jr. | Inner city education must change. Our responsibility is not merely to provide access to knowledge; we must produce educated people. | 103 |
| Jeff Greenfield | This is part of the involuntary bargain we make with the world just by being alive. We get to experiences the splendor of nature, the beauty of art, the balm of love and the sheer joy of existence, always with the knowledge that illness, injury, natural disaster, or pure evil can end it in an instant for ourselves or someone we love. | 103 |
| Ronnie Musgrove | If you are fortunate in life, age and knowledge breed compassion. And as I have gotten older, I came to understand, that a person's sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with their ability to be a good parent. | 103 |
| James Mark Baldwin | Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind. | 103 |
| Roger Babson | Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgement will always be in demand under all conditions. | 103 |
| James H. Douglas, Jr. | Everyone, young and old, must have access to the knowledge and skills to participate in the evolving economy. | 103 |
| Roger Bacon | Argument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment. | 103 |
| James Marsh | 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. | 103 |
| John Warnock | Without television and mass communication, that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people. | 103 |
| Joseph Story | A good government implies two things; first, fidelity to the objects of the government; secondly, a knowledge of the means, by which those objects can be best attained. | 103 |
| Benjamin Franklin | We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. | 104 |
| Charles Spurgeon | Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. | 104 |
| John Locke | The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it. | 104 |
| Antoine de Saint-Exupery | A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance. | 104 |
| Anton Chekhov | Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. | 104 |
| Calvin Coolidge | Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. | 104 |
| Jean Piaget | It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth. | 104 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | The library, with its Daedalian labyrinth, mysterious hush, and faintly ominous aroma of knowledge, has been replaced by the computer's cheap glow, pesky chirp, and data spillage. | 104 |
| Annie Besant | The generous wish to share with all what is precious, to spread broadcast priceless truths, to shut out none from the illumination of true knowledge, has resulted in a zeal without discretion that has vulgarised Christianity, and has presented its teachings in a form that often repels the heart and alienates the intellect. | 104 |
| B. H. Liddell Hart | A complacent satisfaction with present knowledge is the chief bar to the pursuit of knowledge. | 104 |
| Charles Babbage | At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labour becomes abridged. | 104 |
| Daniel J. Boorstin | Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge. | 104 |
| Derek Bok | For some students, especially in the sciences, the knowledge gained in college may be directly relevant to graduate study. For almost all students, a liberal arts education works in subtle ways to create a web of knowledge that will illumine problems and enlighten judgment on innumerable occasions in later life. | 104 |
| Francis Picabia | Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth. | 104 |
| George Gurdjieff | Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave. | 104 |
| Herodotus | The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance. | 104 |
| Lucy Stone | Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations. | 104 |
| Prem Rawat | This life that has been given to us as a gift, as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it, really try to recognize it, is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful. | 104 |
| Robert Reich | Technology is changing so fast that knowledge about specifics can quickly become obsolete. That's why so much of what technicians learn is on the job. | 104 |
| Seth MacFarlane | There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith. | 104 |
| Shakuntala Devi | Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life. | 104 |
| Arthur Rimbaud | Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge. | 104 |
| Doris Day | The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it. | 104 |
| George Boole | To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind. | 104 |
| Lafcadio Hearn | For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete. | 104 |
| Lynn Jurich | Prior to SunRun, I was headed toward a career in venture capital and then realized I wanted to apply my knowledge of finance more directly to helping change the world. | 104 |
| Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus | The courage of a soldier is heightened by his knowledge of his profession. | 104 |
| Sundar Pichai | The impact of giving someone a connected smartphone is no different from giving them a real computer. I look at how my kids learn and how different it is from how I learned because the impact of these things is just so huge. Sometimes I think we don't fully internalize what it is to get the power of knowledge in everyone's hand. | 104 |
| Heidi Hayes Jacobs | Education is a business - the growth business. It cultivates the growth of our learners, translates the growth of new knowledge, and builds professional growth. | 104 |
| Richard Cobden | For the progress of scientific knowledge will lead to a constant increase of expenditure. | 104 |
| Richard Preston | I'm all in favor of looking deeply into as much as we possibly can. I'm not afraid of knowledge... With all new technology, weapons inevitably emerge... Evil comes out of the human heart. It doesn't come out of nature. | 104 |
| Azar Nafisi | Once we know of atrocities we cannot remain silent, and knowledge inevitably leads to an urge to protect the innocent. | 104 |
| James Gleick | Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom. Reading - even browsing - an old book can yield sustenance denied by a database search. Patience is a virtue, gluttony a sin. | 104 |
| Jean-Francois Lyotard | What guides Marxism, then, is a different model of society, and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it. | 104 |
| Mireille Guiliano | Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted. | 104 |
| Sugata Mitra | Schools still operate as if all knowledge is contained in books, and as if the salient points in books must be stored in each human brain - to be used when needed. The political and financial powers controlling schools decide what these salient points are. | 104 |
| Ameen Rihani | Experience is knowledge; but knowledge, when it is sought only as a material resource, is not always a blessing. Experience is wisdom; but wisdom, with those who lack vision, is not always power. Experience is tolerance; but tolerance, when it is induced by apathy, is not in the least a virtue. | 104 |
| Antonio Gramsci | My practicality consists in this, in the knowledge that if you beat your head against the wall it is your head which breaks and not the wall - that is my strength, my only strength. | 104 |
| Daniel D. Palmer | The most wonderful study of mankind is man. Relieving human suffering and diffusing universal knowledge is humanitarian. | 104 |
| Jonathan Dimbleby | That test should not be about ratings. What should weigh is the knowledge that a public broadcaster delivers programmes that matter. | 104 |
| Angel Cabrera | You should welcome getting older in golf. With greater knowledge of your swing, you, too, can keep improving. | 104 |
| Corliss Lamont | Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists. | 104 |
| Roger Bacon | All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon. | 104 |
| Aime Cesaire | Poetic knowledge is born in the great silence of scientific knowledge. | 104 |
| Johnny Isakson | Well, the truth is always what should be told. And the truth and the knowledge of the truth is what everybody should represent, regardless of the consequences of doing it. | 104 |
| Jose Serrano | In a country with an overabundance of food, no one should go hungry because of a lack of funds or technical and professional knowledge. We have the food, and we have the networks; we now need to support the providers. | 104 |
| John Jewel | Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark. | 104 |
| Albert Einstein | The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. | 105 |
| Plato | Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge. | 105 |
| Audrey Hepburn | For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. | 105 |
| Avicenna | The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes. | 105 |
| Bertrand Russell | Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance. | 105 |
| Charles Darwin | Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. | 105 |
| Francois de La Rochefoucauld | In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge. | 105 |
| Karl Popper | Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite. | 105 |
| Terry Pratchett | They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance. | 105 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life. | 105 |
| Mao Zedong | If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience. | 105 |
| Maria Montessori | If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind? | 105 |
| Mary Wollstonecraft | Learn from me, if not by my precepts, then by my example, how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow. | 105 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | Public schools helped create the idea of America and inculcate Americans with a few rudiments of knowledge. To judge by that very American item, the Internet, a few rudiments is all anyone cares to have. | 105 |
| Charles Lindbergh | Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. | 105 |
| Elizabeth Kenny | I do not want medical men to discuss whether or not my work is valuable, because I know what it will do. I want them to tell me how best this new knowledge of rapidly restoring paralysed people to health and strength can be applied where it is needed. | 105 |
| Fabiola Gianotti | The search for knowledge is a long and difficult task. | 105 |
| Frederick Sanger | And indeed this theme has been at the centre of all my research since 1943, both because of its intrinsic fascination and my conviction that a knowledge of sequences could contribute much to our understanding of living matter. | 105 |
| George Gurdjieff | A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows. | 105 |
| Gordon W. Allport | The outlines of the needed psychology of becoming can be discovered by looking within ourselves; for it is knowledge of our own uniqueness that supplies the first, and probably the best, hints for acquiring orderly knowledge of others. | 105 |
| Hasso Plattner | I made my money with software - encoded knowledge without which few products and services can exist today - and so it seemed imperative that this would be the field where I would give something back. | 105 |
| Horace Mann | Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power. | 105 |
| Laurence Olivier | I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself. | 105 |
| Lewis Thomas | Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack. | 105 |
| Malcolm Gladwell | There is this tremendous body of knowledge in the world of academia where extraordinary numbers of incredibly thoughtful people have taken the time to examine on a really profound level the way we live our lives and who we are and where we've been. That brilliant learning sometimes gets trapped in academia and never sees the light of day. | 105 |
| Max Planck | Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view. | 105 |
| Max Weber | All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge from particular points of view. | 105 |
| Nassim Nicholas Taleb | The people I go after are the false experts, those who do not accept the limits of their knowledge. | 105 |
| Orson Scott Card | The education that prepared me was my general education classes, which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate, but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible. | 105 |
| Pericles | Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all. | 105 |
| Phillips Brooks | To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge. | 105 |
| Russell Wilson | I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And that's what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. I'm still learning, and I'm still on a constant quest for knowledge. | 105 |
| Saint Basil | Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth. | 105 |
| Thomas Huxley | If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger? | 105 |
| Thomas J. Watson | Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use. | 105 |
| Van Wyck Brooks | People of small caliber are always carping. They are bent on showing their own superiority, their knowledge or prowess or good breeding. | 105 |
| William Hazlitt | Zeal will do more than knowledge. | 105 |
| William Ralph Inge | The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values. | 105 |
| Barry Eisler | When I was in college, I became interested in various aspects of foreign policy and international relations. Even as a kid, I was interested in what I call, loosely speaking, forbidden knowledge. | 105 |
| Jamais Cascio | When we developed written language, we significantly increased our functional memory and our ability to share insights and knowledge across time and space. The same thing happened with the invention of the printing press, the telegraph, and the radio. | 105 |
| John Acton | If the past has been an obstacle and a burden, knowledge of the past is the safest and the surest emancipation. | 105 |
| Laura Wasser | I think if you're going to be in a relationship with someone, you need to be able to share the responsibility, the knowledge, the worry. It's not like it was when our parents or their parents were having lives where the mom just baked bread, and the husband worried about it, and the wife didn't know there was any problem. | 105 |
| Matt Blunt | We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge. | 105 |
| Maurice Maeterlinck | All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. | 105 |
| Paul Tudor Jones | The secret to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and an undying and unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge. | 105 |
| Paul Broun | We have a tremendous lack of knowledge of how far we have gotten away from the Constitution of the United States. Democrats and Republicans alike have taken us away from the original intent. You see, I believe in this document as our founding fathers intended it. | 105 |
| Philippe Cousteau, Jr. | The goal of each EarthEcho Expedition is to inspire and empower youth around the world with the knowledge and tools to take an active role in protecting critical natural resources in their own communities. | 105 |
| Roy Moore | The point is that knowledge of God is not prohibited under the First Amendment. | 105 |
| Terry Goodkind | Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed. | 105 |
| David Ben-Gurion | Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. | 105 |
| George Jackson | But now with the living conditions deteriorating, and with the sure knowledge that we are slated for destruction, we have been transformed into an implacable army of liberation. | 105 |
| Grant Hill | There's a wealth of information and knowledge you can gain from sitting down with people who are successful. | 105 |
| Humphry Davy | In the present state of our knowledge, it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy... its relation to chemical affinity is, however, sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it, and an essential property of matter? | 105 |
| John Polkinghorne | I'm a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality - one world of our experience that we're seeking to describe. | 105 |
| Richard Leakey | A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year, we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge. | 105 |
| Alex Trebek | My life has been a quest for knowledge and understanding, and I am nowhere near having achieved that. And it doesn't bother me in the least. I will die without having come up with the answers to many things in life. | 105 |
| George Mikes | In England only uneducated people show off their knowledge; nobody quotes Latin or Greek authors in the course of conversation, unless he has never read them. | 105 |
| Jacques Barzun | Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done. | 105 |
| John Millington Synge | The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind. | 105 |
| Jonathan Raymond | Technology requires knowledge and expertise more than it requires money. | 105 |
| Polykarp Kusch | The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature. | 105 |
| Anna Letitia Barbauld | The best way for women to acquire knowledge is from conversation with a father, a brother, or a friend, in the way of family intercourse and easy conversation, and by such a course of reading as they may recommend. | 105 |
| Arnold Bennett | There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul. | 105 |
| John Charles Polanyi | Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society, because they have the power that derives from special knowledge. | 105 |
| Raoul Vaneigem | Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not. | 105 |
| Samuel Wilson | To maximize our potential to enhance our health and our knowledge, we should remain open to new understanding and evolving technology or resources that might inspire a change in our approach to these important questions. | 105 |
| Sonny Perdue | My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service. | 105 |
| James Mark Baldwin | All along we find that social life - religion, politics, art - reflects the stages reached in the development of the knowledge of self; it shows the social uses made of this knowledge. | 105 |
| Joseph Wood Krutch | It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder. | 105 |
| John Cheever | Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two. | 105 |
| Avicenna | Now it is established in the sciences that no knowledge is acquired save through the study of its causes and beginnings, if it has had causes and beginnings; nor completed except by knowledge of its accidents and accompanying essentials. | 106 |
| Abu Bakr | Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile. | 106 |
| Arthur Miller | The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge; once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less. | 106 |
| Bob Newhart | With the stand-up comic on TV, whether it's Seinfeld or Cosby or Roseanne, more important than their knowledge of how to tell a joke is their knowledge of themselves, or the persona they've created as themselves. So that when you're in a room with writers, you can say, 'Guys, that's a funny line, but I wouldn't say it.' | 106 |
| David Cameron | After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union. | 106 |
| Edmund Phelps | In essence, capitalist systems are a mechanism by which economies may generate growth in knowledge - with much uncertainty in the process, owing to the incompleteness of knowledge. | 106 |
| Emeril Lagasse | My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine, and do it on a daily basis. | 106 |
| Franz Boas | The historical development of the work of anthropologists seems to single out clearly a domain of knowledge that heretofore has not been treated by any other science. | 106 |
| Frederick Soddy | To-day it appears as though it may well be altogether abolished in the future as it has to some extent been mitigated in the past by the unceasing, and as it now appears, unlimited ascent of man to knowledge, and through knowledge to physical power and dominion over Nature. | 106 |
| Leland Stanford | Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce. | 106 |
| Margaret Fuller | If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. | 106 |
| Mike Rowe | 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. | 106 |
| Mr. T | If you can't read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady! | 106 |
| Paul Rand | 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. | 106 |
| Ramana Maharshi | Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge. | 106 |
| Russell Wilson | Honestly, being a 5'11" quarterback, not too many people think that you can play in the National Football League. And so for me, you know, I knew that my height doesn't define my skill set, you know? I believed in my talent. I believed in what God gave me. I believed in the knowledge that I have of the game. | 106 |
| Samuel Smiles | Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever. | 106 |
| Vanna Bonta | Looking up and out, how can we not respect this ever-vigilant cognizance that distinguishes us: the capability to envision, to dream, and to invent? the ability to ponder ourselves? and be aware of our existence on the outer arm of a spiral galaxy in an immeasurable ocean of stars? Cognizance is our crest. | 106 |
| Venerable Bede | And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face. | 106 |
| Wilbur Wright | It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill. | 106 |
| Will Durant | Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul. | 106 |
| Adam Weishaupt | G is Grace, the Flaming Star is the Torch of Reason. Those who possess this knowledge are indeed Illuminati. | 106 |
| Barry Eisler | The Internet is a limitless library at your fingertips. It's a great place to start with the acquisition of knowledge. My process is to go to a place when I'm writing about it. Nothing captures the essence, feeling and flavor of a place better than when I'm actually there and doing the writing. | 106 |
| Carlos Ruiz Zafon | The Cemetery of Forgotten Books is a metaphor, not just for books but for ideas, for language, for knowledge, for beauty, for all the things that make us human, for collecting memory. | 106 |
| Charlie Trotter | A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef, once you have that basis, that's when cuisine is truly exciting. | 106 |
| Dasha Zhukova | There is a huge thirst for knowledge among the younger generation for contemporary art, but most of them learn about it by going on the Internet. | 106 |
| David Souter | While Congress did not, to my knowledge, calculate aggregate dollar values for the nationwide effects of racial discrimination in 1964, in 1994 it did rely on evidence of the harms caused by domestic violence and sexual assault, citing annual costs of $3 billion in 1990 and $5 to $10 billion in 1993. | 106 |
| Enrico Fermi | Ignorance is never better than knowledge. | 106 |
| Frederick Buechner | Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. | 106 |
| Hakeem Olajuwon | Allah says in the Qur'an not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. It's who is most righteous. If I go to a mosque - and I'm a basketball player with money and prestige - if I go to a mosque and see an imam, I feel inferior. He's better than me. It's about knowledge. | 106 |
| Leland Ryken | Literature incarnates its meanings as concretely as possible. The knowledge that literature gives of a subject is the kind of knowledge that is obtained by (vicariously) living through an experience. | 106 |
| Mira Nair | We have to realize only in communication, in real knowledge, in real reaching out, can there be an understanding that there's humanity everywhere, and that's what I'm trying to do. | 106 |
| Scott Turow | Widespread public access to knowledge, like public education, is one of the pillars of our democracy, a guarantee that we can maintain a well-informed citizenry. | 106 |
| Gerard De Nerval | The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned. | 106 |
| Kjell Magne Bondevik | Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts. | 106 |
| Robert Staughton Lynd | One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. | 106 |
| Shannon Miller | I'm not fascinated by one particular case, but by knowledge that I had no idea was out there. | 106 |
| Gertrude Jekyll | In garden arrangement, as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire a knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what it is well to let alone. | 106 |
| Mimi Kennedy | In El Salvador, when neighbors were disappeared, tortured or killed, people doubted their own knowledge of the victims, and worried there must have been some secret guilt involved to deserve such punishment! That's how political terror succeeds. | 106 |
| Albert J. Nock | Life has obliged him to remember so much useful knowledge that he has lost not only his history, but his whole original cargo of useless knowledge; history, languages, literatures, the higher mathematics, or what you will - are all gone. | 106 |
| Jay Griffiths | Being adequately informed is a democratic duty, just as the vote is a democratic right. A misinformed electorate, voting without knowledge, is not a true democracy. | 106 |
| Devdutt Pattanaik | Mythology is a vast body of knowledge that has not been tapped. | 106 |
| Plato | A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. | 107 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | I know of no time in human history where ignorance was better than knowledge. | 107 |
| Nicki Minaj | My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want - and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. | 107 |
| Peter Drucker | Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement. | 107 |
| Alfred Lord Tennyson | Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. | 107 |
| Jean Piaget | Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher. | 107 |
| Alfred North Whitehead | Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge. | 107 |
| Ali ibn Abi Talib | Do not share the knowledge with which you have been blessed with everyone in general, as you do with some people in particular; and know that there are some men in whom Allah, may He be glorified, has placed hidden secrets, which they are forbidden to reveal. | 107 |
| Annie Besant | Debating clubs among boys are very useful, not only as affording pleasant meetings and interesting discussions, but also as serving for training grounds for developing the knowledge and the qualities that are needed in public life. | 107 |
| Chester A. Arthur | The health of the people is of supreme importance. All measures looking to their protection against the spread of contagious diseases and to the increase of our sanitary knowledge for such purposes deserve attention of Congress. | 107 |
| Edwin Louis Cole | Knowledge of God's Word is a bulwark against deception, temptation, accusation, even persecution. | 107 |
| Emile Durkheim | The liberal professions, and in a wider sense the well-to-do classes, are certainly those with the liveliest taste for knowledge and the most active intellectual life. | 107 |
| Frank Herbert | The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. | 107 |
| George Edward Woodberry | I seldom deal in symbolisms; if there be hidden meanings in my verse, they are there without my knowledge. | 107 |
| Huston Smith | Exclusively oral cultures are unencumbered by dead knowledge, dead facts. Libraries, on the other hand, are full of them. | 107 |
| Jonathan Kozol | We know that segregation is evil. We know that the sickest children should not go to the worst hospitals. No, I refuse to pretend the problem is insufficient knowledge. We lack the theological will to do it. | 107 |
| Louis Pasteur | Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. | 107 |
| Muhammad Yunus | By simply capitalizing on core strengths and knowledge, companies and entrepreneurs can engage in an emerging business model that will enable them to create - and demonstrate - real, sustainable social impact in society. | 107 |
| Novalis | Knowledge is only one half. Faith is the other. | 107 |
| Steven Seagal | The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children, and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them. | 107 |
| Talcott Parsons | From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is, in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself. | 107 |
| William Hurt | Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge. | 107 |
| Zhuangzi | Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for much knowledge is a curse. | 107 |
| Albrecht Durer | Sane judgment abhors nothing so much as a picture perpetrated with no technical knowledge, although with plenty of care and diligence. | 107 |
| Anne M. Mulcahy | One of the things we often miss in succession planning is that it should be gradual and thoughtful, with lots of sharing of information and knowledge and perspective, so that it's almost a non-event when it happens. | 107 |
| Jeremy Taylor | It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not. | 107 |
| Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | Technical knowledge has now become an integral aspect of the Iranian psyche. | 107 |
| Pearl Bailey | There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside. | 107 |
| Terry Wogan | Go out and face the world secure in the knowledge that everybody else thinks they are better looking than they are as well. | 107 |
| Ernst Mach | The presentations and conceptions of the average man of the world are formed and dominated, not by the full and pure desire for knowledge as an end in itself, but by the struggle to adapt himself favourably to the conditions of life. | 107 |
| Jennie Garth | I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around. | 107 |
| Shinichi Suzuki | Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill. | 107 |
| Allan Savory | Almost all the knowledge required to produce more food than eroding soil is available today - we just need to use that knowledge within a holistic paradigm - managing agriculture holistically, forming the policies that undergird it holistically. | 107 |
| Jean-Francois Lyotard | Scientific knowledge is a kind of discourse. | 107 |
| Marie de France | Now will I rehearse before you a very ancient Breton Lay. As the tale was told to me, so, in turn, will I tell it over again, to the best of my art and knowledge. Hearken now to my story, its why and its reason. | 107 |
| Connie Nielsen | If you asked somebody, 'what do you wish for in life?' they wouldn't say 'happiness.' I would have answered 'excitement, knowledge,' God knows - I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not 'happiness'. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular. | 107 |
| Ruben Santiago-Hudson | My knowledge and thirst for knowledge has no expiration date... It goes until I'm dead. I will be learning and studying from youth, as well as people older than me... Having degrees as a person of color in this country is the one thing that can't nobody take away from me. | 107 |
| Andre Geim | The consequences of a lack of new knowledge is decades of stagnation: the next generation will be poorer than this one. | 107 |
| John Locke | Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. | 108 |
| Michel Foucault | If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost. | 108 |
| Sigmund Freud | The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. | 108 |
| Jay-Z | I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter. | 108 |
| Jean Piaget | To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active. | 108 |
| Marcel Proust | It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body. | 108 |
| Carlos Castaneda | A man of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then he looks and rejoices and laughs and then he sees and knows. | 108 |
| Clifford Geertz | We need to think more about the nature of rhetoric in anthropology. There isn't a body of knowledge and thought to fall back on in this regard. | 108 |
| David Perlmutter | In general, the public knowledge base and thus decision-making behaviors are far more influenced by advertisement than with current science. | 108 |
| Dolley Madison | It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business. | 108 |
| Gael Garcia Bernal | In Mexico, theater is very underground, so if you're a theater actor it's very difficult to make a living. But it's also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education. | 108 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. | 108 |
| Oswald Chambers | If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality. | 108 |
| Sally Ride | Studying whether there's life on Mars or studying how the universe began, there's something magical about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge. That's something that is almost part of being human, and I'm certain that will continue. | 108 |
| Sam Houston | The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government. | 108 |
| Walter Lippmann | There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation. | 108 |
| Zhuangzi | Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it. | 108 |
| Cherie Blair | Understanding how your business affects human rights and using that knowledge to shape appropriate policies and practices is crucial to achieving what should be the goal of all corporations - sustainable growth. | 108 |
| Gerald Chertavian | When we think about the workplace, people think about hard skills being dominant, but they're not. The employer realizes knowledge will shift quickly, and there's a half-life to knowledge in this world. | 108 |
| Konrad Lorenz | Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing. | 108 |
| Mandy Moore | I want to learn about a different religion. I grew up Catholic, but my grandfather was Jewish. Knowledge about other religions can help you understand your own better. I think it's kind of hypocritical to believe one thing and don't know about any others. | 108 |
| Steven Johnson | Calculus, the electrical battery, the telephone, the steam engine, the radio - all these groundbreaking innovations were hit upon by multiple inventors working in parallel with no knowledge of one another. | 108 |
| Tony Judt | As citizens of a free society, we have a duty to look critically at our world. But if we think we know what is wrong, we must act upon that knowledge. | 108 |
| David Ben-Gurion | Courage is... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared. | 108 |
| Sophie Kinsella | People used to ask me for advice, and I'd say, 'Please, don't ask me!' Yes, I did economics at Oxford, but that's not the same as having a broad knowledge of personal finance. | 108 |
| Stanislav Grof | The knowledge of the realm of death makes it possible for the shaman to move freely back and forth and mediate these journeys for other people. | 108 |
| Jean-Francois Lyotard | One can decide that the principal role of knowledge is as an indispensable element in the functioning of society, and act in accordance with that decision, only if one has already decided that society is a giant machine. | 108 |
| Randy Quaid | My finances have been decimated by a group of people, such as my ex-attorney, my ex-business manager, and an estate planner, specifically. And they have conspired together to - to co-op my corporations, put in trustees without my knowledge. | 108 |
| Jakob Bohme | A Christian is of no sect. He can dwell in the midst of sects, and appear in their services, without being attached or bound to any. He hath but one knowledge, and that is, Christ in him. | 108 |
| Jimi Hendrix | Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. | 109 |
| Thomas Aquinas | Love takes up where knowledge leaves off. | 109 |
| Alexander the Great | I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion. | 109 |
| D. H. Lawrence | Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken. | 109 |
| John Adams | Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people. | 109 |
| Nathaniel Branden | To love a person is to know and love the person. But we can pick up an enormous amount about another human being just by exchanging a couple of sentences. It's not yet knowledge; it's an intuition that motivates you to want to find out more. | 109 |
| P. G. Wodehouse | Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well. | 109 |
| Thomas Fuller | Zeal without knowledge is fire without light. | 109 |
| Thomas Malthus | I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth. | 109 |
| Werner Heisenberg | The uncertainty principle refers to the degree of indeterminateness in the possible present knowledge of the simultaneous values of various quantities with which the quantum theory deals; it does not restrict, for example, the exactness of a position measurement alone or a velocity measurement alone. | 109 |
| Anne Wilson Schaef | Whole areas of knowledge and information have been defined into nonexistence because the system cannot know, understand, control, or measure them. | 109 |
| Astro Teller | To say a scientist is not at all responsible is wrong. But to say that someone who invents a piece of knowledge or technology is responsible for all future uses is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be that binary. | 109 |
| Cheech Marin | What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing. | 109 |
| Chuck Yeager | Later, I realized that the mission had to end in a let-down because the real barrier wasn't in the sky but in our knowledge and experience of supersonic flight. | 109 |
| Clarissa Pinkola Estes | Some say that sudden knowledge of mystical matters is accomplished only in complete quietude, or that Creator, in one of God's many forms, appears only in orderly ways that are beauteous and picturesque, or that the mystical appears only in completely silent ways. All are true. Except for the 'only' part. | 109 |
| David H. Murdock | Exercise your brain and body, keep engaged with work and friends, and feed your brain with a healthy, plant-based diet - as well as knowledge. | 109 |
| Douglas Alexander | Traditionally, diplomacy was done in an environment of information scarcity. Ambassadors would send back telegrams to foreign ministries, comfortable in the knowledge that their views of a country would be the only source of information the minister would see. | 109 |
| Juvenal | All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price. | 109 |
| Lucy Powell | These are tough times and under this Tory-led government many people in Manchester are suffering and getting left behind. If elected I will use all my energy, skills, experience and knowledge to stand up for our communities and get things done for the better. | 109 |
| Matthew Arnold | Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be enlarged; practice what you know, and you shall attain to higher knowledge. | 109 |
| Pratibha Patil | A paradigm shift, where, in addition to physical inputs for farming, a focused emphasis placed on knowledge inputs can be a promising way forward. This knowledge-based approach will bring immense returns, particularly in rain fed and dry land farming areas. | 109 |
| Theodore Bikel | Epistemology is the study of knowledge. By what conduit do we know what we know? | 109 |
| Shari Arison | I have recently been able to see the new world - the quiet, the tranquility and the freedom it will bring with it. This is very comforting knowledge for me because I already know that what I envision eventually becomes a reality. | 109 |
| Don Tapscott | Knowledge is exploding, so you need to commit yourself to a plan for lifelong learning. | 109 |
| Jesse James Garrett | Building technical systems involves a lot of hard work and specialized knowledge: languages and protocols, coding and debugging, testing and refactoring. | 109 |
| Marvin Minsky | When David Marr at MIT moved into computer vision, he generated a lot of excitement, but he hit up against the problem of knowledge representation; he had no good representations for knowledge in his vision systems. | 109 |
| Aristotle | The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching. | 110 |
| Confucius | Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. | 110 |
| David Hume | Scholastic learning and polemical divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge. | 110 |
| Hippocrates | A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician. | 110 |
| Abigail Adams | Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so; but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since. | 110 |
| Anne Sullivan | Education in the light of present-day knowledge and need calls for some spirited and creative innovations both in the substance and the purpose of current pedagogy. | 110 |
| Arnold H. Glasow | It is harder to conceal ignorance than to acquire knowledge. | 110 |
| Baltasar Gracian | True knowledge lies in knowing how to live. | 110 |
| Carlos Castaneda | A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting. | 110 |
| Daymond John | An entrepreneur needs to know what they need, period. Then they need to find an investor who can build off whatever their weaknesses are - whether that's through money, strategic partnerships or knowledge. | 110 |
| Derek Bok | The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification. | 110 |
| Franz Grillparzer | Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail. | 110 |
| H. Rap Brown | The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him. | 110 |
| Karen Armstrong | Compassion is a practically acquired knowledge, like dancing. You must do it and practice diligently day by day. | 110 |
| Kay Redfield Jamison | Knowledge is marvelous, but wisdom is even better. | 110 |
| Leroy Hood | My fundamental philosophy is that you owe it to society to transfer to them any knowledge you have that might be useful. | 110 |
| Mary McLeod Bethune | Knowledge is the prime need of the hour. | 110 |
| Philippe Petit | I needed more knowledge in rigging and knotting. I started collecting books on knots and really learning more and more. That's how it started. And also in magic, of course. With a piece of rope, you can do magic. | 110 |
| Thabo Mbeki | I think that probably the most important thing about our education was that it taught us to question even those things we thought we knew. To say you've got to inquire, you've got to be testing your knowledge all the time in order to be more effective in what you're doing. | 110 |
| Walter Scott | A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect. | 110 |
| Ed Markey | It is common knowledge that smoking is considered one of the nation's leading causes of preventable death, but it's less widely known that cigarettes are also the leading cause of fatal fires. | 110 |
| Emmitt Smith | Always, through my whole life, I've had a thirst for knowledge. | 110 |
| Luther Burbank | Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature. | 110 |
| Jacques Lacan | The knowledge that there is a part of the psychic functions that are out of conscious reach, we did not need to wait for Freud to know this! | 110 |
| Maria Mitchell | We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing. | 110 |
| Matthew Simpson | If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character. | 110 |
| John McCarthy | An excessive knowledge of Marxism is a sign of a misspent youth. | 110 |
| Martin H. Fischer | Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. | 110 |
| Albert Einstein | The only source of knowledge is experience. | 111 |
| Carl Jung | Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. | 111 |
| e. e. cummings | Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination. | 111 |
| Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit, and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest. | 111 |
| Kevin Mitnick | Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business. | 111 |
| J. Robert Oppenheimer | In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose. | 111 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about. | 111 |
| Charles Babbage | Surely, if knowledge is valuable, it can never be good policy in a country far wealthier than Tuscany, to allow a genius like Mr. Dalton's, to be employed in the drudgery of elementary instruction. | 111 |
| Daisaku Ikeda | I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take, based on our own decisions and choices as individuals, link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history. | 111 |
| Daniel J. Boorstin | Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion. | 111 |
| Frances Wright | If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance. | 111 |
| Friedrich August von Hayek | To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm. | 111 |
| Herbert A. Simon | Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational. | 111 |
| John Calvin | Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ. | 111 |
| Nancy Gibbs | Summer is not obligatory. We can start an infernally hard jigsaw puzzle in June with the knowledge that, if there are enough rainy days, we may just finish it by Labor Day, but if not, there's no harm, no penalty. We may have better things to do. | 111 |
| Seth Shostak | Since the Renaissance, a concept called 'progress' has been baked into our society. Progress - founded on an accumulation of knowledge through experience (and in the case of science, through experiment). To build on the past rather than endlessly relive it. That's what separates us from the beasts. | 111 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | The mentor-mentee relationship is ideally like that of the guru and disciple: motivated by the desire of the guru to impart knowledge to the disciple. | 111 |
| Will Durant | Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance. | 111 |
| Hans Blix | I found it peculiar that those who wanted to take military action could - with 100 per cent certainty - know that the weapons existed and turn out to have zero knowledge of where they were. | 111 |
| Janet Yellen | Will capitalist economies operate at full employment in the absence of routine intervention? Certainly not. Do policy makers have the knowledge and ability to improve macroeconomic outcomes rather than make matters worse? Yes. | 111 |
| Robbie Robertson | My thirst for knowledge and experience comes from the idea that once you learned something, it was time to learn something else. I missed out on a formal educational process, so I'm making up for that. | 111 |
| James Comey | The private sector is the key player in cyber security. Private sector companies are the primary victims of cyber intrusions. And they also possess the information, the expertise, and the knowledge to address cyber intrusions and cyber crime in general. | 111 |
| John Burnside | It is common knowledge now that we depend on insects for our continued existence; that, without key pollinators, the human population would collapse in less than a decade. | 111 |
| Jay Griffiths | The silencing of the rainforests is a double deforestation, not only of trees but a deforestation of the mind's music, medicine and knowledge. | 111 |
| Aldous Huxley | A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor. | 112 |
| Immanuel Kant | Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. | 112 |
| Lord Byron | Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. | 112 |
| Thomas Sowell | Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated. | 112 |
| Isaac Bashevis Singer | Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge. | 112 |
| Margaret Atwood | You will always have partial points of view, and you'll always have the story behind the story that hasn't come out yet. And any form of journalism you're involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge. | 112 |
| David Harsanyi | Common Core, the initiative that claims to more accurately measure K-12 student knowledge in English and math, also encourages children to step up their 'critical thinking.' | 112 |
| Emma Thompson | It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly. | 112 |
| Feisal Abdul Rauf | I read, read enormously on all different fields of Islamic thought, from philosophy to Islamic literature, poetry, exegeses, knowledge of the Hadith, the teachings of the prophet. That's how I trained myself. And then I was appointed imam by a Sufi master from Istanbul, Turkey. | 112 |
| George Henry Lewes | Books minister to our knowledge, to our guidance, and to our delight, by their truth, their uprightness, and their art. | 112 |
| Jeremy Bentham | The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection. | 112 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | Let us democratise knowledge. Let us universalise justice. Together, let us globalise compassion! | 112 |
| Lisa Randall | Scientific research involves going beyond the well-trodden and well-tested ideas and theories that form the core of scientific knowledge. During the time scientists are working things out, some results will be right, and others will be wrong. Over time, the right results will emerge. | 112 |
| Ludwig van Beethoven | Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend. | 112 |
| N. R. Narayana Murthy | I think India has several advantages in the knowledge sector, in the software sector. | 112 |
| Philip K. Dick | Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful. | 112 |
| William Ellery Channing | It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity. | 112 |
| Bill James | Crime shapes how we think about the world; it shapes social decisions that we make; it shapes our base of knowledge. But we don't talk about it intelligently. | 112 |
| Britt Robertson | I like down-to-Earth characters, but I also like being able to get outside my box of knowledge. | 112 |
| Chuck Berry | Of the five most important things in life, health is first, education or knowledge is second, and wealth is third. I forget the other two. | 112 |
| Eugene Cernan | I think America has a responsibility to maintain its leadership in technology and its moral leadership in the world, to explore, to seek knowledge. | 112 |
| Luther Burbank | The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love. | 112 |
| Rosemary Mahoney | Aversion toward the blind exists for the same reason that most prejudices exist: lack of knowledge. Ignorance is a powerful generator of fear. And fear slides easily into aggression and contempt. | 112 |
| Tess Gerritsen | Only with maturity did I come to appreciate my own Chinese roots: not just the food and the ancient history, but also the philosophy of child-rearing and the respect for education and knowledge. | 112 |
| Adam Braun | The most abundant resources that we possess amongst the 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States are passion and knowledge, yet our most scarce resource is collaboration. | 112 |
| Amelia Barr | Human relations are built on feeling, not on reason or knowledge. And feeling is not an exact science; like all spiritual qualities, it has the vagueness of greatness about it. | 112 |
| Plato | Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance. | 113 |
| Socrates | True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. | 113 |
| Evel Knievel | You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves. | 113 |
| George Herbert | In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge. | 113 |
| Herman Hesse | Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. | 113 |
| Karen DeCrow | Patricia Nixon gave up a career to become a political wife. She rose to the pinnacle of glory and then fell to disgrace because of deeds over which she had neither control nor knowledge. | 113 |
| Talib Kweli | You make knowledge relevant to life and you make it important for children to learn things that will really relate to things going on in their lives, and not abstract. | 113 |
| Thomas Piketty | The main force pushing toward reduction in inequality has always been the diffusion of knowledge and the diffusion of education. | 113 |
| Cat Deeley | You can do one of two things. You can bury you head in the sand and believe what everyone tells you - that you will always be that young, that thin and that fabulous. Or you can use all the things you have - talent, contacts, knowledge - and do something different. | 113 |
| John Wycliffe | The laity ought to understand the faith, and since the doctrines of our faith are in the Scriptures, believers should have the Scriptures in a language familiar to the people, and to this end the Holy Ghost endued them with knowledge of all tongues. | 113 |
| John Cheever | Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two. | 113 |
| Confucius | To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge. | 114 |
| H. P. Lovecraft | Of our relation to all creation we can never know anything whatsoever. All is immensity and chaos. But, since all this knowledge of our limitations cannot possibly be of any value to us, it is better to ignore it in our daily conduct of life. | 114 |
| Anne Sullivan | I have thought about it a great deal, and the more I think, the more certain I am that obedience is the gateway through which knowledge, yes, and love, too, enter the mind of the child. | 114 |
| Bertolt Brecht | The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn. | 114 |
| Brian Eno | Democracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people. | 114 |
| Ernest Holmes | Borrowing knowledge of reality from all sources, taking the best from every study, Science of Mind brings together the highest enlightenment of the ages. | 114 |
| H. G. Wells | Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge. | 114 |
| Havelock Ellis | Education, whatever else it should or should not be, must be an inoculation against the poisons of life and an adequate equipment in knowledge and skill for meeting the chances of life. | 114 |
| Henry Adams | Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education. | 114 |
| Henry Giroux | Not only does neoliberalism undermine both civic education and public values and confuse education with training, it also treats knowledge as a product, promoting a neoliberal logic that views schools as malls, students as consumers, and faculty as entrepreneurs. | 114 |
| Howard Gardner | A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important, but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization. | 114 |
| Laurence Sterne | The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it. | 114 |
| Maharishi Mahesh Yogi | The knowledge from an enlightened person breaks on the hard rocks of ignorance. | 114 |
| Max Weber | The career of politics grants a feeling of power. The knowledge of influencing men, of participating in power over them, and above all, the feeling of holding in one's hands a nerve fiber of historically important events can elevate the professional politician above everyday routine even when he is placed in formally modest positions. | 114 |
| Talcott Parsons | The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly, if not explicitly, systematic theory in this sense. | 114 |
| Talib Kweli | I not only wanted to showcase lyrical skills but also continue to drop knowledge on the hiphop community. I'm looking to elevate through my music, and through my music I educate. | 114 |
| Tom Clancy | People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad? | 114 |
| Vera Farmiga | Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning. | 114 |
| Vikas Swarup | Just because someone has gone to an elite school and college does not make him smarter than the person who has grown up on street knowledge. | 114 |
| John Boyd Orr | Though the general principles of statecraft have survived the rise and fall of empires, every increase in knowledge has brought about changes in the political, economic, and social structure. | 114 |
| Maria Mitchell | That knowledge which is popular is not scientific. | 114 |
| James Stephens | Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing. | 114 |
| Benjamin Disraeli | To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge. | 115 |
| Alfred North Whitehead | In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory. | 115 |
| Ben Horowitz | The big value of the founder running the company is really two things: the knowledge and the commitment. | 115 |
| Ellie Goulding | I want to be safe in the knowledge that I can tour and play festivals for a long time. The main thing is that I want a good reputation as a live performer. If I have that, I'd be so happy. | 115 |
| Ernest Holmes | The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible. | 115 |
| F. Sionil Jose | We are shallow because we are 'mayabang,' ego driven, and do not have the humility to understand that we are only human, much too human to mistake knowledge for wisdom. | 115 |
| Lord Acton | The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future. | 115 |
| Ludwig van Beethoven | Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine. | 115 |
| Neil Armstrong | Research is creating new knowledge. | 115 |
| Ramana Maharshi | Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist. | 115 |
| Shakira | I thank God that I'm a product of my parents. That they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from. | 115 |
| Thomas a Kempis | A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning. | 115 |
| Tom Waits | We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. | 115 |
| Virginia Postrel | The SAT is not perfect. We all know smart, knowledgeable people who do badly on standardized tests. But neither is it useless. SAT scores do measure both specific knowledge and valuable thinking skills. | 115 |
| Walter Benjamin | All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation. | 115 |
| William Cowper | Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; wisdom is humble that it knows no more. | 115 |
| William Ellery Channing | No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent. | 115 |
| Alexis Carrel | Science has to be understood in its broadest sense, as a method for comprehending all observable reality, and not merely as an instrument for acquiring specialized knowledge. | 115 |
| John Boyd Orr | Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge. | 115 |
| Chanakya | The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability. | 116 |
| Dante Alighieri | Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge. | 116 |
| Marie Curie | The death of my husband, coming immediately after the general knowledge of the discoveries with which his name is associated, was felt by the public, and especially by the scientific circles, to be a national misfortune. | 116 |
| W. Edwards Deming | The prevailing - and foolish - attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he's managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he's put in charge anyway. | 116 |
| Herbert Spencer | Science is organized knowledge. | 116 |
| Miguel de Cervantes | The knowledge of yourself will preserve you from vanity. | 116 |
| Russell Simmons | Poverty and lack of knowledge must be challenged. | 116 |
| Edward Thorndike | The real difference between a man's scientific judgments about himself and the judgment of others about him is he has added sources of knowledge. | 116 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself. | 117 |
| George Santayana | Knowledge is not eating, and we cannot expect to devour and possess what we mean. Knowledge is recognition of something absent; it is a salutation, not an embrace. | 117 |
| John Locke | No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience. | 117 |
| Richard P. Feynman | I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way - by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile! | 117 |
| Brigham Young | There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source. | 117 |
| Chuck D | You should be a person inside the world with knowledge of your terrain. And if you lock yourself into the 2,000-by-3,000-square-mile, lower-48 box of the United States, you're going to be frustrated by its limitations. You gotta think outside the box. | 117 |
| Daisaku Ikeda | A healthy vision of the future is not possible without an accurate knowledge of the past. | 117 |
| Dave Ramsey | I believe that through knowledge and discipline, financial peace is possible for all of us. | 117 |
| Don Miguel Ruiz | Humans believe so many lies because we aren't aware. We ignore the truth or we just don't see the truth. When we are educated, we accumulate a lot of knowledge, and all that knowledge is just like a wall of fog that doesn't allow us to perceive the truth, what really is. | 117 |
| Jose Rizal | The government that governs from afar absolutely requires that the truth and the facts reach its knowledge by every possible channel, so that it may weigh and estimate them better, and this need increases when a country like the Philippines is concerned, where the inhabitants speak and complain in a language unknown to the authorities. | 117 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | Many in the world are searching, often intensely, for a source of refreshment that will quench their yearning for meaning and direction in their lives. They crave a cool, satisfying drink of insight and knowledge that will soothe their parched souls. | 117 |
| Max Weber | Precision, speed, unambiguity, knowledge of files, continuity, discretion, unity, strict subordination, reduction of friction and of material and personal costs - these are raised to the optimum point in the strictly bureaucratic administration. | 117 |
| Nostradamus | The perfect knowledge of events cannot be acquired without divine inspiration, since all prophetic inspiration receives its prime motivating force from God the creator, then from good fortune and nature. | 117 |
| Simone Weil | Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge. | 117 |
| Thomas Babington Macaulay | To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population. | 117 |
| Thomas Huxley | The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him, skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin. | 117 |
| Travis Bradberry | Get to know the job intimately that you're applying for. Don't just read the job description - study it and picture yourself performing every task required of you. When you interview, framing your responses so that you reveal your significant knowledge about the job gives you a massive advantage. | 117 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | Most successful entrepreneurs share their knowledge as a way of giving back. They do not demand compensation. Those who do are usually trying to take advantage of you. | 117 |
| Ahmed Zewail | Let me put it this way: There is nothing in Islam that is fundamentally against the quest for knowledge. | 117 |
| Janet Jackson | In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us. | 117 |
| Jeffrey Gitomer | The buyer, the prospect, the customer expects you to have knowledge of their stuff, not just your stuff. | 117 |
| Roland Barthes | Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula. | 117 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. | 118 |
| Immanuel Kant | Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge. | 118 |
| Jimmy Carter | I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.' | 118 |
| Milton Friedman | Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes. | 118 |
| Samuel Johnson | Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. | 118 |
| Alvin Toffler | Knowledge is the most democratic source of power. | 118 |
| Cat Stevens | Music can be healing, and with my history and my knowledge of both sides of what looks like a gigantic divide in the world, I feel I can point a way forward to our common humanity again. | 118 |
| Hubert H. Humphrey | Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty. | 118 |
| Mary J. Blige | I wish I had known that education is the key. That knowledge is power. Now I pick up books and watch educational shows with my husband. I'm seeing how knowledge can elevate you. | 118 |
| Muhammad Iqbal | It may, however, be said that the level of experience to which concepts are inapplicable cannot yield any knowledge of a universal character, for concepts alone are capable of being socialized. | 118 |
| Tadao Ando | You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see. | 118 |
| Thomas Carlyle | A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. | 118 |
| V. S. Naipaul | I read many things. I read to fill in my knowledge of the world. | 118 |
| Martin Jacques | The fact that television and tourism have made the whole world accessible has created the illusion that we enjoy intimate knowledge of other places, when we barely scratch their surface. For the vast majority, the knowledge of Thailand or Sri Lanka acquired through tourism consists of little more than the whereabouts of the beach. | 118 |
| Shakti Gawain | There is a universal, intelligent, life force that exists within everyone and everything. It resides within each one of us as a deep wisdom, an inner knowing. We can access this wonderful source of knowledge and wisdom through our intuition, an inner sense that tells us what feels right and true for us at any given moment. | 118 |
| Ramez Naam | The accumulated knowledge of materials, computing, electromagnetism, product design, and all the rest that we've learned over the last several centuries converts a few ounces of raw materials worth mere pennies into a device with more computing power than the entire planet possessed fifty years ago. | 118 |

| Malcolm X | 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. | 119 |
| Jean Piaget | In other words, knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things, whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact. | 119 |

| W. Edwards Deming | You should not ask questions without knowledge. | 119 |
| Harry Browne | You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily. | 119 |
| Herbie Hancock | You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom. | 119 |

| Tom Stoppard | For me, human rights simply endorse a view of life and a set of moral values that are perfectly clear to an eight-year-old child. A child knows what is fair and isn't fair, and justice derives from that knowledge. | 122 |
| Anthony J. D'Angelo | Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months. | 122 |
| Brian Tracy | Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future. | 122 |

| Jennifer Lopez | I seriously feel like the best days are ahead, and I like the idea of getting to do everything I did before but with more knowledge, experience, and street smarts. There's a certain love, appreciation, and gratitude that you have at 40 that you don't have when you're younger, and it makes every accomplishment feel so much better. | 122 |
| Robert Collier | You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door. | 122 |
| Stokely Carmichael | The knowledge I have now is not the knowledge I had then. | 122 |
| A. R. Rahman | Wisdom comes from within. Knowledge is acquired and can sometimes put a screen on your wisdom. | 122 |
| Bruce Lee | Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. | 123 |

| Hippocrates | Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance. | 123 |
| Norman Schwarzkopf | I'm not a type-B personality who knows I have a cancer growing inside of me and can live with the knowledge. I go into a kung-fu attack position when I go through the door of a hospital. | 123 |
| Thomas Aquinas | We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing; then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves. | 123 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | If four things are followed - having a great aim, acquiring knowledge, hard work, and perseverance - then anything can be achieved. | 123 |
| Jean Piaget | This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge. | 123 |
| Robert Baden-Powell | It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience. | 123 |
| Anne Sullivan | We have no firm hold on any knowledge or philosophy that can lift us out of our difficulties. | 123 |

| Nathan Myhrvold | Elections, for their part, are typically popularity contests rather than measures of candidates' relative competency or effectiveness. Imagine if scientific truth were determined according to which scientist was most popular. To be successful, scientists would have to be charismatic and attractive - and human knowledge would suffer terribly. | 123 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet. | 123 |

| Emile Durkheim | Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized. | 125 |
| Gretchen Rubin | People are powerfully moved by imagination, belief, and knowledge. They can consider the past and future. They can make changes in their behavior out of reason in a way that animals can't do. | 125 |
| Jamie Oliver | It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word. | 125 |
| Martin Seligman | The good life consists in deriving happiness by using your signature strengths every day in the main realms of living. The meaningful life adds one more component: using these same strengths to forward knowledge, power or goodness. | 125 |

| Alfred North Whitehead | Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination. | 126 |

| Thomas Sowell | It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance. | 202 |

| Benjamin Franklin | The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance. | 203 |

| Thich Nhat Hanh | We fear that this moment will end, that we won't get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe.

| W. Edwards Deming | Lack of knowledge... that is the problem. | 204 |
| Lupe Fiasco | If you are an open-minded and tolerant Muslim, you have enough knowledge to question the moves of a Christian governor or even the Ku Klux Klan. They called themselves a Christian organization, but how is that possible since Jesus didn't do that? | 204 |
| Seth Godin | The future of publishing is about having connections to readers and the knowledge of what those readers want. | 204 |
| Immanuel Kant | I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief. | 205 |

| Elie Wiesel | What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically. | 206 |

| Vincent Van Gogh | Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again. | 206 |

| Marcus Tullius Cicero | The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow. | 210 |
| Camille Paglia | A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy. | 210 |
| Jesse Ventura | I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. | 210 |

| Jose Andres | I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover. | 212 |
| Albert Camus | The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism. | 213 |

| Gordon B. Hinckley | Knowledge, learning, is an eternal thing. | 213 |

| Henry Ford | The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability. | 214 |
| Richard Simmons | Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. | 214 |
| Tiger Woods | The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow. | 214 |

| Peter Drucker | A manager is responsible for the application and performance of knowledge. | 216 |

| Buzz Aldrin | The pilgrims on the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. To my knowledge, they didn't wait around for a return trip to Europe. You settle some place with a purpose. If you don't want to do that, stay home. You avoid an awful lot of risks by not venturing outward. | 217 |
| Charles Stanley | I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have. | 217 |
| Walt Disney | We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster - closed and forgotten within the first year. | 218 |
| Khalil Gibran | Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds. | 219 |

| Virginia Postrel | Chains do more than bargain down prices from suppliers or divide fixed costs across a lot of units. They rapidly spread economic discovery - the scarce and costly knowledge of what retail concepts and operational innovations actually work. | 219 |
| Confucius | 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. | 221 |

| Carl Jung | Just as we might take Darwin as an example of the normal extraverted thinking type, the normal introverted thinking type could be represented by Kant.
