I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Civilization is a race between disaster and education.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.

Education is a system of imposed ignorance.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Knowledge, Action, Devotion are complementary to each other.

When you know better you do better.

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

The knowledge of all things is possible

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.
