They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
There’s nothing as significant as a human face. Nor as eloquent. We can never really know another person, except by our first glance at him. Because, in that glance, we know everything. Even though we’re not always wise enough to unravel the knowledge.
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge — that is everywhere.
There is only one real knowledge: that which helps us to be free. Every other type of knowledge is mere amusement.[Vishnu Purana, Indian Wisdom][Всякая другая обязанность – только новое ярмо. Всякое другое знание – только праздная выдумка.]
There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning DESIRE to possess it.
There is no knowledge that is not power.
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating – people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.
The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.
The ultimate basis on which all our knowledge and science rest is the inexplicable.[Der Grund und Boden, auf dem alle unsere Erkenntnisse und Wissenschaften ruhen, ist das Unerklärliche.]
The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific “truth.”
The search and striving for truth and knowledge is one of the highest of man’s qualities – though often the pride is most loudly voiced by those who strive the least.
The pursuit of knowledge is, I think, mainly actuated by love of power. And so are all advances in scientific technique.
