Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

There can never be any stop to learn about different cultures by travelling to different places. And whatever comes your way, continue the healthy eating habits.

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.

You aren’t learning anything when you’re talking.

He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.

Too much of what is called ‚education‘ is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.

Only the educated are free.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.

He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.

If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature’s way.

Regarding life, the wisest men of all ages have judged alike: it is worthless.

A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled.

Reason commands us far more imperiously than a master; for in disobeying the one we are unfortunate, and in disobeying the other we are fools.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

He that speaks much, is much mistaken.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.

I learned to fly a few years ago in England. It’s the only place I’m completely alone – up in the air, detached from everything.

I owe the best of myself to geology, but everything it has taught me tends to turn me away from dead things.

All my life I’ve been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.

The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.

Men blaspheme what they do not know.

How many things there are concerning which we might well deliberate whether we had better know them.

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.

The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
