-
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
-
The master said, Quietly to store up knowledge in my mind, to learn without flagging, to teach without growing weary, these present me with no difficulties.
~ Confucius quotes from The Analects

"A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it."
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from The Teachings of Don Juan
-
A warrior-hunter knows that his death is waiting, and the very act he is performing now may well be his last battle on earth. He calls it a battle because it is a struggle. Most people move from act to act without any struggle or thought. A warrior-hunter, on the contrary, assesses every act; and since he has intimate knowledge of his death, he proceeds judiciously, as if every act were his last battle. Only a fool would fail to notice advantage a warrior-hunter has over his fellow men. A warrior-hunter gives his last battle its due respect. It's only natural that his last act on earth should be the best of himself. It's pleasurable that way. It dulls the edge of his fright.
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Journey to Ixtlan
-
Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from Tales of Power

"Again and again I therefore admonish my students in Europe and America: Don't aim at success -- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run -- in the long-run, I say! -- success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it."
-
If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. Don't abide in borrowed certainty. There is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
~ Mevlana Rumi quotes from Rumi Daylight: A Daybook of Spiritual Guidance
-
The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
-
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
-
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
-
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
-
Don't help me or serve me, but let me see it once, because I need it. Don't work for my happiness, my brothers—show me yours—show me that it is possible—show me your achievement—and the knowledge will give me the courage for mine. Mallory (the young artist) to Roark in "The Fountainhead"
-
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
-
To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step in knowledge.
-
The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
-
Courage is the human virtue that counts most--courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.
-
There is no knowledge that is not power.
-
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
-
Until one acknowledges the genius within oneself, one will have great difficulty recognizing it in others.
