A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.

The most wonderful study of mankind is man. Relieving human suffering and diffusing universal knowledge is humanitarian.

The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.

Challenging snow is one of my favorite kinds of skiing, and I like being able to switch techniques at liberty.

The only ways of enquiry that lead to knowledge... the one way assuming that being is and that it is impossible for it not to be, is the trustworthy path, for truth attends it.

The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly, if not explicitly, systematic theory in this sense.

The hypothesis may be put forward, to be tested by the s subsequent investigation, that this development has been in large part a matter of the reciprocal interaction of new factual insights and knowledge on the one hand with changes in the theoretical system on the other.

From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is, in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.

It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system.

It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system.

But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory.

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.

Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all.

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
