Wisdom and Ignorance
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify. [Select] Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves. [Select] I will tell you the truth as soon as I figure it out. [Select] Today's children are required to learn what most people in former times were forbidden to know. [Select] Ashleigh Brilliant: Brilliant Thoughts (copyright info: www.ashleighbrilliant.com) Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. [Select] Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgement. [Select] Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance. [Select] Sam Brown (Washington Post, 1977) It costs to be stupid. The stupider you are, the more it costs. [Select] All that we are is the result of what we have thought. [Select] Less than fifteen percent of the people do any original thinking on any subject... The greatest torture in the world for most people is to think. [Select] A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword. [Select] Ignorance is the mother of devotion. [Select] Robert Burton {Also in: Science and Religion} Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well. [Select] A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. [Select] Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life. [Select] A man lives by believing in something, not by debating and arguing about many things. [Select] Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most fools do. [Select] "Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." [Select] Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know. [Select] Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on. [Select] Winston Churchill {Also in: Science and Religion}
