You're a hopeless romantic, said Faber. It would be funny if it were not serious. It's not books you need, it's some of the things that once were in books. The same things could be in the 'parlor families' today. The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios, and televisors, but are not. No,no it's not books at all you're looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type or receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. Of course you couldn't know this, of course you still can't understand what I mean when i say all this. You are intuitively right, that's what counts.

Knowledge shall set the mind free.

The knowledge of "Where am I going?" comes during the process of implementation and dedication to the task

Specific knowledge is needed in every work, if we want to have success

The knowledge of the purpose of the success that you receive by grace in every area will keep us from pride and the love of money

Science is the human endeavor to elevate the self and the society from the darkness of ignorance into the light of wisdom.

You can be a sincere person devoting yourself to your husband child or boss, but your sincerity cannot and will not, fill the gap in your knowledge about your life purpose

I would rather my descendants have greater abilities and a greater knowledge of the love of Christ than I do, much like standing on one's shoulders in order to get a clearer view of the valley.

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

It's simple, it's not that simple; or life is simple, but the things in it are not. When a man does not understand it, he tends to inflate it. When he does, he tends to deflate it. In the end, neither images are fully accurate.

We're very familiar with the idea that some things are so complex they're beyond our comprehension. This not only keeps us solving and experimenting but also distracted. Many things are really so simple we can't see them under our big noses.

Old words are reborn with new faces.

Keep in mind my friend, if an answer is not rational, then it is not an answer, but a delusion.

The principles you know determines what you get

Shallow intellect is worse than ignorance. Ignorance can be treated with knowledge, but shallow intellect, that is illusion of knowledge, is untreatable and quite dangerous to the progress and wellbeing of humanity.

I am pain stricken to say that, various —educational— institutions have adopted the medieval doctrine fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom as their motto. Let me tell you this, fear of the Lord, Santa Claus, Krishna, Thor, Hulk or any other imaginary being brings merely the illusion of wisdom, not wisdom. And illusion of wisdom is a billion times more harmful than lack of wisdom.

Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired.

Store up knowledge. Then question your own knowledge in order to expand your mind, both to build and to create more space. Then store up more knowledge. And so on. That is wisdom.

The ultimate goal of humanity is knowledge.

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