knowledge

I thought to myself: I am wiser than this man; neither of us probably knows anything that is really good, but he thinks he has knowledge, when he has not, while I, having no knowledge, do not think I have.

Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.

The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.

I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

It takes a very long time to become young.

Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

__ithout a knowledge of where words come from, things disappear, history is lost.

All knowledge hurts.

In the pursuit of wholeness, there will surely be challenges but you need to keep going.

Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `That is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.

What is word knowledge but a shadow of wordless knowledge?

Be prepared to be on the race to fulfill and to achieve fulfillment.

A life that is actually lived is one that is with significance.

When you have discovered your significance, your life will now begin to move towards making a difference.

Wisdom is not counted in grammers, niether in fluency, but vividly shown in mannerism.

It is a good thing to live long but it is much more important to make a difference in life by living a life of significance.

When you live for the purpose of making a difference for the people, for society, for the things that are beyond you, then significance will not be able to elude you.
