Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action.... into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake. Rabindranath Tagore quotes The only use of a knowledge of the past is to equip us for the present. The present contains all that there is. It is holy ground; for it is the past, and it is the future. Alfred North Whitehead quotes Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. Alfred, Lord Tennyson quotes The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed Plato quotes If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation. Anais Nin quotes Information is not knowledge. Albert Einstein quotes All the knowledge in the world is found within you. Anthony J. D'Angelo quotes Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge. Kahlil Gibran quotes In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information. Anthony J. D'Angelo quotes Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months. Anthony J. D'Angelo quotes |
