Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.

“A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.”
“Kindness which is bestowed on the good is never lost.”
“I know nothing more worthy of a man's ambition than that his son be the best of men.”

“Theory must mediate between all previous truths and certain new experiences”
“I have observed dreams and visions very carefully, and am now certain that the imagination has some way of lighting on the truth that the reason has not, and that its commandments, delivered when the body is still and the reason silent, are the most binding we can ever know.”
“Even the good artisans fell into the same error as the poets; because they were good workmen they thought that they also knew all sorts of high matters, and this defect in them overshadowed their wisdom.”
More on Inquiry
“To argue that the gaps in knowledge which confront the seeker must be filled, not by patient inquiry, but by intuition or revelation, is simply to give ignorance a gratuitous and preposterous dignity.”
“The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.”
“The answers are all out there, we just need to ask the right questions.”
