“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.
The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species.
I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.”
Carl Sagan, “Cosmos”
“The only true Wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
Socrates
“Any fool can know.
The point is to understand.”
Albert Einstein
“No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.”
L. Frank Baum, The Lost Princess of Oz
“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.“
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The Seven Social Sins are:
Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle.”
From a sermon given by Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925.
Frederick Lewis Donaldson
“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.”
John Locke
“Great minds are always feared by lesser minds.”
Dan Brown, “The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3)”
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.”
Socrates
“Confidence is ignorance.

Eoin Colfer, “Artemis Fowl”
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others.
You’d be surprised how far that gets you.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world.
Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.”

“Knowledge, like air, is vital to life.
Like air, no one should be denied it.”
Alan Moore, “V for Vendetta”
“I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well.
He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree.
Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty.
First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe.
Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is …
I can appreciate the beauty of a flower.
At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees.
I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty.
I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes.
The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color.
It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms?
Why is it aesthetic?
All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower.
It only adds.
I don’t understand how it subtracts.”
Richard P. Feynman, “The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman”
“It takes a very long time to become young.”
Pablo Picasso
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.”
Kurt Vonnegut, “Cat’s Cradle”
“I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it.
I’ve been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn’t have.
Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic.
I finally decided that I’m a creature of emotion as well as of reason.
Emotionally, I am an atheist.
I don’t have the evidence to prove that God doesn’t exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn’t that I don’t want to waste my time.”
Isaac Asimov
“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
Benjamin Franklin, “The Way to Wealth: Ben Franklin on Money and Success”
“What is now proved was once only imagined.”
William Blake
“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social enviroment.
Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.”
(Essay to Leo Baeck, 1953)
Albert Einstein
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”
Charles Darwin, “The Descent of Man”
“The hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.”
Confucius
“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.”

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden.
A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject…
And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages.
There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them…
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”
Seneca, “Natural Questions”
“The knowledge of all thingsย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย is possible.”
Leonardo da Vinci

To think you know when you do not is a disease.
Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.”
Lao Tzu
“What transforms this world is โ knowledge.
Do you see what I mean?
Nothing else can change anything in this world.
Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is.
When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”

“Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Maxims and Reflections”
“How little we know of what there is to know.
I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time.
I’d like to be an old man to really know.
I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand.
I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of.
I wish there was more time.”
Ernest Hemingway,ย “For Whom The Bell Tolls“
“Timendi causa est nescire –
Ignorance is the cause of fear.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, “Natural Questions“
“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.”
Napoleon Hill, “Think and Grow Rich”
“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 interpretationโฆ 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.”

โA mysterious new technology emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, but actually the result of two decades of intense research and development by nearly anonymous researchers.
Political idealists project visions of liberation and revolution onto it; establishment elites heap contempt and scorn on it.
On the other hand, technologists โ nerds โ are transfixed by it.
They see within it enormous potential and spend their nights and weekends tinkering with it.
Eventually mainstream products, companies and industries emerge to commercialize it; its effects become profound; and later, many people
wonder why its powerful promise wasnโt more obvious from the start.
What technology am I talking about?
Personal computers in 1975, the Internet in 1993, and โ I believe โ Bitcoin in 2014โฆ.
The practical consequence of solving this problem is that Bitcoin gives us, for the first time, a way for one Internet user to transfer a unique piece of digital property to another Internet user, such that the transfer is guaranteed to be safe and secure, everyone knows that the transfer has taken place, and nobody can challenge the legitimacy of the transfer.
The consequences of this breakthrough are hard to overstate.
What kinds of digital property might be transferred in this way?
Think about digital signatures, digital contracts, digital keys (to physical locks, or to online lockers), digital ownership of physical assets such as cars and houses, digital stocks and bonds โฆ
and digital moneyโ.

Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill was an American author in the area of the new thought movement who was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature.
He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success.
His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich (1937), is one of the best-selling books of all time (at the time of Hill’s death in 1970, Think and Grow Rich had sold 20 million copies).
Hill’s works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success.
He became an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve” is one of Hill’s hallmark expressions.
How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal points of Hill’s books.
” The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE.
Keep this constantly in mind.
Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat. “

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. “

” IF – and this is the greatest of them all – I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them. “

Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure.
Worry will never bring it back. “
Napoleon Hill – “Think and Grow Rich”

Nature
” Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through โopinionsโ and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous.

Napoleon Hill – “Think and Grow Rich”

Napoleon Hill – “The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons”

” The leaders in every walk of life decide quickly, and firmly.

Napoleon Hill – “You Can Work Your Own Miracles”

” No man is your enemy, no man is your friend, every man is your teacher. “
Napoleon Hill – “The Prosperity Bible: The Greatest Writings of All Time on the Secrets to Wealth and Prosperity”

” INSUFFICIENT EDUCATION.
This is a handicap that may be overcome with comparative ease.
Experience has proven that the best-educated people are often those who are known as โself-madeโ or self-educated.
It takes more than a university degree to make one a person of education.
Any person who is educated has learned to get whatever they want in life without violating the rights of others.
Education consists not so much of knowledge, but of knowledge effectively and persistently applied.
People are paid not merely for what they know, but more particularly for what they do with what they know. “
Napoleon Hill – “Think and Grow Rich”
Self-Education
” Then accumulated knowledge is not wisdom?
A Great heavens, no!
If knowledge were wisdom, the achievements of science would not have been converted into implements of destruction. “
Napoleon Hill – “Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success”
Knowledge vs Wisdom
” The entire world is made up of only two things, energy and matter.
In elementary physics we learn that neither matter nor energy (the only two realities known to man) can be created nor destroyed.
Both matter and energy can be transformed, but neither can be destroyed.
Life is energy, if it is anything.
If neither energy nor matter can be destroyed, of course life cannot be destroyed.
Life, like other forms of energy, may be passed through various processes of transition, or change, but it cannot be destroyed.
Death is mere transition.
If death is not mere change, or transition, then nothing comes after death except a long, eternal, peaceful sleep, and sleep is nothing to be feared.
Thus you may wipe out, forever, the fear of Death. “
Napoleon Hill – “Think and Grow Rich”
Fear of Death
” ‘Master Mind’, meaning a mind that is developed through the harmonious co-operation of two or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task. “
Napoleon Hill – “The Law of Success”
“Master Mind”
” KNOWLEDGE will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical PLANS OF ACTION, to the DEFINITE END of accumulation of money.
Lack of understanding of this fact has been the source of confusion to millions of people who falsely believe that “knowledge is power.”
It is nothing of the sort!
Knowledge is only potential power.
It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end. “
