Should you wish to pursue the infinity of truth, you must make yourself humble as ashes and vigorous as the wind.

The acquiring of intelligence doesn't require an institution if you got the heart to seek knowledge, and the balls to use it as wisely as those who came before you.

James Emlund

They say "the taste of the pudding is in the eating," but that doesn't apply to "a square peg in a round hole".If the peg is driven by hunger to give and desire to fill, and the hole on the other hand is moved by thirst to receive and purpose to fulfil, then a deep knowledge of the reason for existence, a mutual understanding of roles, and the wisdom to effectively carry out those roles are very key, if we must have a round peg in a round hole, or a square peg in a square hole.But then again, who cares about "shape" in desperation?!

Olaotan Fawehinmi

The quest for knowledge is what makes humans survive, even if it hurts.” I have trouble imagining that this éminence grise was once a sixteen-year-old Hungarian boy in a death camp. “There’s a troublesome verse from Ecclesiastes about this,” he tells me. “It says that the more we know, the more pain we have. But because we are human beings, this must be. Otherwise we become objects rather than subjects.” He pauses for a moment to let this sink in. “Of course, it hurts when we see pictures of people throwing themselves out of windows, children who are orphaned, the widows,” Wiesel says. “But there is no way out of what we’ve seen.” “And how do we live with what we know?” I ask “How can we live with not knowing?

Mark Matousek

Those with knowledge crave to become wiser, not powerful.

Kiady Diaz

A man wakes up and for a few moments he experiences everything exactly as it is. Jon wrote: A man wakes up and is lucid. It doesn’t last long, though, he thought, that kind of lucidity. If it did you wouldn’t be able to stand it, it would kill you.

Ullmann

Look, Miranda, he said, those twenty long years that lie between you and me. I've more knowledge of life than you, I've lived more and betrayed more and seen more betrayed. At your age one is bursting with ideals. You think that because I can sometimes see what's trivial and what's important in art that I ought to be more virtuous. But I don't want to be virtuous. My charm (if there is any) for you is simply frankness. And experience. Not goodness. I'm not a good man. Perhaps morally I'm younger even than you are. Can you understand that?

John Fowles

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Mark Twain

Kamand Kojouri

Truth is the preferred weapon of God, and censorship is the most abused tool of the Devil.

Suzy Kassem

My mind is a collection of truths that I have extracted from greatest thinkers throughout human history

Diego Belmonte

If I were to go back in time with the knowledge that I have today about Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), I would invest the money into changing the electrical characteristics of my body and exhaust that route first, particularly if no one else in the home is showing the condition. If everyone is sick in the home, it is probably an environmental issue that warrants expense on changing the environmental factors.

Steven Magee

Wisdom is available free of charge, but one has to give away somethings to acquire it!

Amit Chatterjee

Never you fight a man that knows and understand the mysteries about God.

Ikechukwu Izuakor

Perhaps the single most enjoyable part of my researches, which covered a period of about four years, was meeting the artists themselves, the people who provide the luxuries. All of them, from tailors and boot makers to truffle hunters and champagne blenders, were happy in their work, generous with their time, and fascinating about their particular skills. To listen to a knowledgeable enthusiast, whether he's talking about a Panama hat or the delicate business of poaching foie gras in Sauternes, is a revelation, and I often came away wondering why the price wasn't higher for the talent and patience involved.

Peter Mayle

Where there is knowledge, the rooms arefurnished with valuable, beautiful things.(GNB)

Ikechukwu Joseph

Life continues even if no one has proven to us the shape and size of the Earth, even if no one has informed us about the composition of air and the depth of sky.We will not float in weightlessness simply because we have not read the lesson on gravity.

Danail Hristov

Sometimes one has to know something many times over. Sometimes one forgets, and then remembers. And then forgets, and then remembers. And then forgets again.

Maggie Nelson

When you choose to look down on something, you render yourself incapable of understanding it.

Stewart Stafford

Knowledge is a commodity to be shared. For knowledge to pay dividends, it should not remain the monopoly of the selected few.

Moutasem Algharati

History, Geology, Psychology, Philosophy, Chemistry, Physics, Theology, Mathematics, Technology, Sociology, Biology, and the list goes on and on. If all this body of knowledge exist for human consumption, why would I specialize in only one field?

Allan Amanyire

Philosophers wonder when they do not know, artists when they do.

Raheel Farooq

In your Primer you have a resource that will make you highly educated, but it will never make you intelligent. That comes from life. Your life up to this point has given you all the experience you need to be intelligent, but you have to think about those experiences. If you don't think about them, you'll be psychologically unwell. If you do think about them, you will become not merely educated but intelligent.

Neal Stephenson

They judged me like they would judge themselves and that's what they could never understand, we are all human but we are not the same.

Nikki Rowe

There are things you need to know that you already know.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Innocence is the beginning of ignorance. Experience is the end of stupidity.

Michael Bassey Johnson

People believe that Noah's Ark is a legend when we are already apart of this legend, look around what do you see?

Abdulkadir Abdullahi Mohamed Mirre

I've never thought much of strictly organised and methodical study. You can't arrange a library in alphabetical order until you've collected one.

Walter Moers

Knowledge is a light burden. Ignorance...a heavy bliss.

Michael Bassey Johnson

When it comes to learning, there are no boundaries and restrictions literally; all you have to do is to start it where you are.

Auliq-Ice

Travelling shouldn't be just a tour, it should be a tale.

Amit Kalantri

Power means different things to different people. For poets and politicians, words are power. For some, money is power. For most of Earth’s history, weaponry and resources have constituted power. My grandfather always told me—and I believed for many years—that knowledge was power. But the funny thing about power is that no matter what you think it is, or how much you think you have, it’s the people above and all around you who get the final say.

M.L. Wang

Knowledge is strength. Ignorance is the kiss of death.

Suzy Kassem

Any impossibility turned into a possibility is magic.

Amit Kalantri

It's a huge disservice to classify all minds as either closed or open. I find the best minds are closed by openable windows.

Criss Jami

Knowledge gained is as useless as prideif filed away and never applied.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Be creative while inventing ideas, but be disciplined while implementing them.

Amit Kalantri

This book first arose out of a passage in Borges, out of the laughter that shattered, as I read the passage, all the familiar landmarks of my thought—our thought that bears the stamp of our age and our geography—breaking up all the ordered surfaces and all the planes with which we are accustomed to tame the wild profusion of existing things, and continuing long afterwards to disturb and threaten with collapse our age-old distinction between the Same and the Other. This passage quotes a ‘certain Chinese encyclopaedia’ in which it is written that ‘animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the Emperor, (b) embalmed, (c) tame, (d) suckling pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, (l) et cetera, (m) having just broken the water pitcher, (n) that from a long way off look like flies’. In the wonderment of this taxonomy, the thing we apprehend in one great leap, the thing that, by means of the fable, is demonstrated as the exotic charm of another system of thought, is the limitation of our own, the stark impossibility of thinking that.

Michel Foucault

The only sort of pride that may serve a man well on that rarest occasion is his hatred of being wrong. It keeps his mouth shut, his ears open, and his research extensive. And yet this is also the deadliest because when he is in fact proven wrong, he absolutely refuses to acknowledge it. It then keeps his mouth open, his ears shut, and his research inexistent.

Criss Jami

Travel teaches as much as a teacher.

Amit Kalantri

Foreign to knowledge, mystery to senses, alien to emotion: LOVE.

Gabriella Jording

Falsity consists in the privation of knowledge, which inadequate, fragmentary, or confused ideas involve.

Baruch Spinoza

Success, Bill Gates said, is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.Same goes for good looking people. Beauty reduces the consciousness that it takes more to catch the heart of the right partner.We often think being good at one thing is all we need to succeed, but hey, success is less of what you are good at, but more of what you are good for.Of what use is beauty with no brains, culture without character, knowledge that does not impact, or skill that does not add value?For any seemingly "good" thing to last, great attention we must pay to the unseen intrinsic component that sustains it.

Olaotan Fawehinmi

Life is not only about acquiring knowledge, it is about applying knowledge.

Amit Kalantri

Know the word of God not in order that by doing so you might be saved; know it rather so that unlike the many you are not easily deceived. You may find that, evidently, a great many of the so-called novel ideas of the present were made without a clue that 'God', if you will, already laid profound discourse on or against them ages ago: no man has gone against God in such a way that God, from the beginning, did not already expect him to. Then, insofar as this, you will remain clear in that it is not at all that the Christian should be against newness; quite the opposite really - for a major point of Christianity is about one constantly being made new in Christ - it is only that many people are not actually bringing true newness to the table, and this is precisely because they do not first apply (or let alone even know) the wisdom of old.

Criss Jami

The one who love power becomes dictator and one who admires power becomes slave.

Amit Kalantri

Enjoy without injury, live without loss.

Amit Kalantri

In life, you learned that not all white people are racist, not all black folks are criminals, let's admit it and love one another..

Werley Nortreus

You can't suddenly know something just by assembling a committee of words! That's it! I'll assemble your comittee!

Hubert J

Future has a scheming, naughty and intelligent mind. It is never fully predictable!

Amit Chatterjee

A world in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

the true knowledge is disciplined and tested knowledge,—not the first thought that comes, so the true passion is disciplined and tested passion,—not the first passion that comes. The first that come are the vain, the false, the treacherous; if you yield to them they will lead you wildly and far, in vain pursuit, in hollow enthusiasm, till you have no true purpose and no true passion left. Not that any feeling possible to humanity is in itself wrong, but only wrong when undisciplined.

John Ruskin

There is a difference between information and knowledge, and the most important role of the library is not providing access to information; it is supporting, enhancing, and facilitating the transfer of knowledge - in other words, education.

Kathleen McCook

Knowledge is the Best Weapon, Experience is the Best Teacher,Respect is the Best Admirer, But Life Is the Best Answer

Look Im A Cat

I have accepted that I don't know all the things that I ought to know, but I do know things that I need to know.

Hope Jahren

To admit your ignorance is freeing. To say, "I don't know" is to free yourself from having to come up with a bullshit answer.

Eric Roxas

Be a true traveller, don't be a temporary tourist.

Amit Kalantri

I like the notion of stubborn incuriosity. To cultivate a stubborn incuriosity, you have to limit yourself to certain areas of knowledge. You cannot be totally greedy. You have to oblige yourself not to learn everything. Or else you will learn nothing.

Umberto Eco

Knowledge is the physical manifestation of consciousness.

R.A.Delmonico
