Quotes by Knowledge Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of a far flung sky. Edgar Guest wisdomsleepknowledge Measurement has too often been the leitmotif of many investigations rather than the experimental examination of hypotheses. Mounds of data are collected, which are statistically decorous and methodologically unimpeachable, but conclusions are often trivial and rarely useful in decision making. This results from an overly rigorous control of an insignificant variable and a widespread deficiency in the framing of pertinent questions. Investigators seem to have settled for what is measurable instead of measuring what they would really like to know. Edmund Pellegrino datascienceknowledge Whatever I know how to do, I've already done. Therefore I must always do what I do not know how to do. Eduardo Chillida know-howdoneknowledge Schools teach ignorance. Eduardo Galeano ignoranceknowledgeschool Argument is meant to reveal the truth, not to create it. Edward de Bono learningmanagementknowledge There are three estates in Parliament but in the Reporters' Gallery yonder there sits a Fourth Estate more important far than they all. It is not a figure of speech or witty saying, it is a literal fact, very momentous to us in these times. Edmund Burke importantwittyknowledge The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it. Edward de Bono learningpurposeknowledge Books and newspapers assume a "common reader" that is, a person who knows the things known by other literate persons in the culture. Obviously, such assumptions are never identical from writer to writer, but they show a remarkable consistency Edward Hirsch consistencybookknowledge I am almost thanking God that I was never educated, for it seems to me that 999 of those who are so, expensively and laboriously, have lost all before they arrive at my age-& remain like Swift's Stulbruggs-cut and dry for life, making no use of their earlier-gained treasures:-whereas, I seem to be on the threshold of knowledge. Edward Lear cuttingscienceknowledge Every man of sound brain whom you meet knows something worth knowing better than yourself. A man, on the whole, is a better preceptor than a book. But what scholar does not allow that the dullest book can suggest to him a new and a sound idea? Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton menbookknowledge Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason. Edward Robert Harrison realbelieveknowledge It is often claimed that knowledge multiplies so rapidly that nobody can follow it. I believe this is incorrect. At least in science it is not true. The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler. This, of course, goes contrary to what everyone accepts. Edward Teller acceptancebelieveknowledge Increasing knowledge lessens the sphere of the supernatural. Edward Westermarck spheresscienceknowledge There is but a slight difference between the man who may be said to know nothing and him who thinks he knows everything. Edwin Hubbel Chapin menknowledgethinking Packed in my skin from head to toe is one I know and do not know. Edwin Muir toesskinsknowledge With increasing distance, our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly. Eventually, we reach the dim boundary-the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. Not until the empirical resources are exhausted, need we pass on to the dreamy realms of speculation. Edwin Powell Hubble distancescienceknowledge Science is the one human activity that is truly progressive. The body of positive knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation. Edwin Powell Hubble generationsscienceknowledge Rejoice when other scientists do not believe what you know to be true. It will give you extra time to work on it in peace. When they start claiming that they have discovered it before you, look for a new project. Efraim Racker hard-workbelieveknowledge How sad would be November if we had no knowledge of the spring! Edwin Way Teale springtimeknowledge It is a glorious fever, desire to know. Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton feverdesireknowledge«2021222324252627282930»
