An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin
Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned.
Cicero
Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever.
Samuel Smiles
The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed.
Plato
There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
Hippocrates
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell
The confidence of ignorance will always overcome the indecision of knowledge.
Unknown
Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control
Martin Luther King Jr
I know, indeed, of nothing more subtle satisfying and cheering than a knowledge of the real good will and appreciation of others. Such happiness does not come with money, nor does it flow from a fine physical state. It cannot be bought. But it is the keenest joy, after all; and the toiler's truest and best reward.
William Dean Howells
Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge.
Claude Bernard
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and having no flame with which to ignite it.
Guy Finley
Knowledge tells us that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom prevents us from putting it into a fruit salad.
Miles Kington
Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.
Zen Proverb
No article of faith is proof against the disintegrating effects of increasing information; one might almost describe the acquirement of knowledge as a process of disillusion.
H. L. Mencken
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
Anais Nin
