An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Benjamin FranklinTags: knowledge
All knowledge that is about human society, and not about the natural world, is historical knowledge, and therefore rests upon judgment and interpretation. This is not to say that facts or data are nonexistent, but that facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretation… for interpretations depend very much on who the interpreter is, who he or she is addressing, what his or her purpose is, at what historical moment the interpretation takes place.
Edward W. SaidTags: knowledge history interpretation human-society
Herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor, — all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked, — who is good? not that men are ignorant, — what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men.

Anton ChekhovThere is but one coward on earth, and that is the coward that dare not know.
W.E.B. Du BoisBeware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John WesleyTags: reading books love knowledge
