More on Thinking
“The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The true dangerous thing is asking the wrong question.”
“The problems that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.”
“Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.”
More on Truth
“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”
“But the man and woman of seventy assume to know all, they have outlived their hope, they renounce aspiration, accept the actual for the necessary and talk down to the young. Let them then become organs of the Holy Ghost; let them be lovers; let them behold truth; and their eyes are uplifted, their wrinkles smoothed, they are perfumed again with hope and power.”
“And since we cannot deceive the whole human race all the time, it is most important thus to cut every generation off from all others; for where learning makes a free commerce between the ages there is always the danger that the characteristic errors of one may be corrected by the characteristic truths of another.”
