Acquire knowledge before you become leaders and pride prevents you from learning and you live in ignorance.
Umar
Image
Let the spirits witness: for theirs is the knowledge of the future - both what it would be, and what I will: You are the Queen of the Damned, that's what you are! Evil is your only destiny. But at your greatest hour, it is I who will defeat you. Look well on my face. It is I who will bring you down.
Anne Rice
Image
You know nothing... And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire who made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge.
Anne Rice
Image
Knowledge is dangerous and men lie and the world changes, whether I want it to or not.
Patrick Ness
Image
If culture did not filter, it would be inane - as inane as the formless, boundless Internet is on its own. And if we all possessed the boundless knowledge of the Web, we would be idiots! Culture is an instrument for making a hierarchical system of intellectual labor.
Umberto Eco
Image
But he who has been earnest in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his intellect more than any other part of him, must have thoughts immortal and divine. If he attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality, he must altogether be immortal.
Plato
Image
As a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing,but does only and wholly what he must do.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Getting along with men isn't what's truly important. The vital knowledge is how to get along with one man.
Phyllis McGinley
Image
There are two distinct sorts of what we call bashfulness this, the awkwardness of a booby, which a few steps into the world will convert into the pertness of a coxcomb that, a consciousness, which the most delicate feelings produce, and the most extensive knowledge cannot always remove.
Henry Mackenzie
Image
The old knowledge had been difficult but not distressing. It had been all paradox and myth, and it had made sense. The new knowledge was all fact and reason, and it made no sense.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I wish there were shortcuts to wisdom and self-knowledge: cuter abysses or three-day spa wilderness experiences. Sadly, it doesn't work that way. I so resent this.
Anne Lamott
Image
He knew now, and the knowledge was hard, that his task had never been to undo what he had done, but to finish what he had begun.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
But you must not change one thing, one pebble, one grain of sand, until you know what good and evil will follow on that act. The world is in balance, in Equilibrium. A wizard's power of Changing and Summoning can shake the balance of the world. It is dangerous, that power...It must follow knowledge, and serve need.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
If I had to pick a hero, it would be Charles Darwin--the size of his mind, which included all that scientific curiosity and knowledge seeking, and the ability to put it all together. There is a genuine spirituality about Darwin's thinking.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
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?
Maria Montessori
Image
The art of governing [focusing] the passions is more useful, and more important, than many things in the search and pursuit of which we spend our days. Without this art, riches and health, and skill and knowledge, will give us little satisfaction and whatsoever else we be, we can be neither happy, nor wise, nor good.
John Jortin
Image
The knowledge that every day there is something more to learn, something higher to reach for, something new to make for others, makes each day infinitely precious
Uta Hagen
Image
Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.
Stanley Fish
Image
To be master of any branch of knowledge, you must master those which lie next to it, and thus to know anything you must know all.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Image
To read a newspaper for the first time is like coming into a film that has been on for an hour. Newspapers are like serials. To understand them you have to take knowledge to them the knowledge that serves best is the knowledge provided by the newspaper itself.
V. S. Naipaul
Image
Courage you have, and the knowledge that we are all pilgrims together, wending through unknown country, home.
Giovanni Giocondo
Image
Faith is indeed intellectual it involves an apprehension of certain things as facts and vain is the modern effort to divorce faith from knowledge. But although faith is intellectual, it is not only intellectual. You cannot have faith without having knowledge but you will not have faith if you have only knowledge.
John Gresham Machen
Image
Every person on earth learns it’s lesson by making different mistakes. The only source of knowledge is experience. Experience avoiding the mistakes you already made.
