Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
James Altucher
In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.
Leonardo da Vinci
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Isaac Asimov
We know what we are, but know now what we may be.
William Shakespeare
In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. . They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
George Orwell
A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.
Plato
Curiosity is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest
Benjamin Franklin
We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation -rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Making a film of a work you've played for six weeks gives you intimate knowledge of the character. By the time you go in front of the camera you've worked out the behavior and life of a character.
Linda Lavin
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Knowledge always desires increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but which will afterwards propagate itself
Samuel Johnson
I think all the knowledge and all the travels that I've done, I'm going to do a lot of great work in the future.
Chris Tucker
When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.
There is still the feeling that women's writing is a lesser class of writing, that what goes on in the nursery or the bedroom is not as important as what goes on in the battlefield, that what women know about is a less category of knowledge.
Erica Jong
Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down
George Eliot
For a long time, I wanted to become a theologian. Now, however, behold, how through my efforts God is being glorified through astronomy.
Johannes Kepler
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn.
Nathaniel Branden
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
