Knowledge

You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
- Cronenberg, David

Locke, John

Samuel Johnson

When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.

Fitzgerald, F. Scott

25.
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
Cronenberg, David

26.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

Simmons, Jake

28.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

29.
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra

30.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.

Maitland, Frederic William

35.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

Chesterfield, Lord

Socrates

The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
Thoreau, Henry David

50.
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
