Knowledge.

Be an explorer ... read, surf the internet, visit customers, enjoy arts, watch children play ... do anything to prevent yourself from becoming a prisoner of your knowledge, experience, and current view of the world.--Charles 'Chic' Thompson (What a Great Idea) A complacent satisfaction with present knowledge is the chief bar to the pursuit of knowledge. B. H. Liddell Hart (The Ghost of Napoleon) Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.(Thomas Henry Huxley ) He who knows others is learned; he who knows himself is wise.( Lao-tzu) I shall devote only a few lines to the expression of my belief in the importance of science … it is by this daily striving after knowledge that man has raised himself to the unique position he occupies on earth, and that his power and well-being have continually increased.(Marie Curie) If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions.(Susanne K. Langer ) Knowledge comes by taking things apart: analysis. But wisdom comes by putting things together.(John A. Morrison) Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.(Martin H. Fischer ) Knowledge might be power, but only when you take action.(Richard Keeves ) My philosophy is anyone or anything that gives you knowledge inspires you.(Gabrielle Reece ) Our age is being forcibly reminded that knowledge is no substitute for wisdom. Far and away the most important thing in human life is living it.(Frank R. Barry ) Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of non-knowledge.Isaac Bashevis Singer (interview by Burgin New York Times Magazine December 3, 1978) The saying that knowledge is power is not quite true. Used knowledge is power, and more than power. It is money, and service, and better living for our fellowmen, and a hundred other good things. But mere knowledge, left unused, has no power in it.(Edward E. Free ) The small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify we give the name of knowledge.(Ambrose Bierce ) These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.(Vernon Cooper ) We are drowning in information ,but starved for knowledge.John Naisbitt (Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives) Where is the Life we have lost in living?Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?(T. S. Eliot )
