More on Learning
“I like my job because it involves learning. I like being around smart people who are trying to figure out new things. I like the fact that if people really try they can figure out how to invent things that actually have an impact.”
“Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't.”
“Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.”
More on Knowledge
“When two friends are in the mood to chat, we have to go about it in a gentler and more dialectical way. By 'more dialectical,' I mean not only that we give real responses, but that we base our responses solely on what the interlocutor admits that he himself knows.”
“Some men grow mad by studying much to know,But who grows mad by studying good to grow.”
“This is...self-knowled ge-for a man to know what he knows, and what he does not know.”
