knowledge

Finding meaning for life is simply coming into significance because you have been able to accomplish and fulfill your purpose.

Go all the way and let your soul be in what you are doing and there will be no limitations.

Every risk that you take in order for you to come into significance is the greatest kind of risk to take.

Your voice could go to where your feet could not go.

You can be in the vanguard of those that bring a change to the community and to the nation as a whole.

Believe that your life is not ordinary and never look down on what you can do to impact a life.

We can choose to live under the rulership of God or under the rulership of the devil.

When you live in darkness, you live under the rulership of the devil.

As long as you are ready to pay this price for living in the light (knowledge) the darkness (ignorance) becomes a servant to you.

To break yourself loose from the dominion, ruler-ship and manipulation of the devil, you have to embrace light (knowledge).

The only reason for your intimidation by the devil, and your being afraid of him, or what he can do is because you are living in ignorance (darkness) which is his territory.

If we read the Holy Scripture, we shall grow in our knowledge of Jesus Christ, the Saviour. And be filled with the fullness of God.

Anyone with a form of godliness is promoting ungodliness, whether ignorantly or knowingly.

Modern civilization depends on science _ James Smithson was well aware that knowledge should not be viewed as existing in isolated parts, but as a whole, each portion of which throws light on all the other, and that the tendency of all is to improve the human mind, and give it new sources of power and enjoyment _ narrow minds think nothing of importance but their own favorite pursuit, but liberal views exclude no branch of science or literature, for they all contribute to sweeten, to adorn, and to embellish life _ science is the pursuit above all which impresses us with the capacity of man for intellectual and moral progress and awakens the human intellect to aspiration for a higher condition of humanity.[Joseph Henry was the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, named after its benefactor, James Smithson.]

That such a slave as this should wear a sword,Who wears no honesty. Such smiling rogues as these,Like rats, oft bite the holy cords atwainWhich are too intrinse t' unloose; smooth every passionThat in the natures of their lords rebel,Being oil to the fire, snow to the colder moods,Renege, affirm, and turn their halcyon beaksWith every gale and vary of their mastersKnowing naught, like dogs, but following.

Every day I would run to the library to get new books. Reading was a passion: I wanted to understand life. I read Dostoevsky and Brehm, Jules Verne and Turgenev, Dickens and the Zhivopisnoye Obozreniye; and the more I read, th emore I doubted everything. Lies surrounded me on all sides; one moment I wanted to run off to the Indian jungle, the next to throw a bomb at the governor-general's house on Tverskaya, the next to hang myself.

Education without the knowledge of the Holy One is the darkest doom.

Without the knowledge of God, we are in complete darkness.
