I awake with a not entirely sickened knowledge that I am merely young again and in a funny way at peace, an observer who is aware of time's chariot, aware that some metamorphosis has occurred.

Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.

To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.

There is no stopping the world's tendency to throw off imposed restraints, the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many, the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few.

People of small caliber are always carping. They are bent on showing their own superiority, their knowledge or prowess or good breeding.

Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.

Security... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.

You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.

My knowledge of the state of President Roosevelt's health was derived entirely from conversations, from newspaper articles and from photographs.

Minneapolis has two seasons: Road Removal and Snow Repair.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.

Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated.

Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.

If no other knowledge deserves to be called useful but that which helps to enlarge our possessions or to raise our station in society, then Mythology has no claim to the appellation.

Knowledge is power. Most of us agree that something has to be done to strengthen Social Security, and I believe it's irresponsible to arbitrarily dismiss any idea, Republican nor Democrat, without giving it a hard look.

The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love.

Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.

The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.

Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
