Doubt is not below knowledge, but above it.Collection: Knowledge
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.Collection: Knowledge
Action not backed by knowledge and knowledge not translatable into action, both can not stand the test of time.Collection: Knowledge
To get to know, to discover, to publish-this is the destiny of a scientist.Collection: Knowledge
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.Collection: Knowledge
The mechanist is intimately convinced that a precise knowledge of the chemical constitution, structure, and properties of the various organelles of a cell will solve biological problems. This will come in a few centuries. For the time being, the biologist has to face such concepts as orienting forces or morphogenetic fields. Owing to the scarcity of chemical data and to the complexity of life, and despite the progresses of biochemistry, the biologist is still threatened with vertigo.Collection: Knowledge
What must be the knowledge of Him, from whom all created minds have derived both their power of knowledge, and the innumerable objects of their knowledge! What must be the wisdom of Him, from whom all things derive their wisdom!Collection: Knowledge
That hemisphere of the moon which faces us is better known than the earth itself; its vast desert plains have been surveyed to within a few acres; its mountains and craters have been measured to within a few yards; while on the earth's surface there are 30,000,000 square kilometres (sixty times the extent of France), upon which the foot of man has never trod, which the eye of man has never seen.Collection: Knowledge
...one can hardly deny that mankind has a common store of thoughts which is transmitted from one generation to another.Collection: Knowledge
It is possible, of course, to operate with figures mechanically, just as it is possible to speak like a parrot: but that hardly deserves the names of thought. It only becomes possible at all after the mathematical notation has, as a result of genuine thought, been so developed that it does the thinking for us, so to speak.Collection: Knowledge
Increased knowledge of heredity means increased power of control over the living thing, and as we come to understand more and more the architecture of the plant or animal we realize what can and what cannot be done towards modification or improvement.Collection: Knowledge
In completing one discovery we never fail to get an imperfect knowledge of others of which we could have no idea before, so that we cannot solve one doubt without creating several new ones.Collection: Knowledge
In completing one discovery we never fail to get an imperfect knowledge of others.Collection: Knowledge
... in going over the history of all the inventions for which history could be obtained it became more and more clear that in addition to training and in addition to extensive knowledge, a natural quality of mind was also necessary.Collection: Knowledge
Knox was engaged in a theological discussion with scientist John Scott Haldane. 'In a universe containing millions of planets,' reasoned Haldane, 'is it not inevitable that life should appear on at least one of them?' 'Sir,' replied Knox, 'if Scotland Yard found a body in your cabin trunk, would you tell them: 'There are millions of trunks in the world; surely one of them must contain a body? I think the would still want to know who put it there'.Collection: Knowledge
Knowledge of ourselves teaches us whence we come, where we are and whither we are going. We come from God and we are in exile; and it is because our potency of affection lends towards God that we are aware of this state of exile.Collection: Knowledge
To gain knowledge, we must learn to ask the right questions; and to get answers, we must act, not wait for answers to occur to us.Collection: Knowledge
My task was to show the psychologists that it is possible to apply physiological knowledge to the phenomena of psychical life.Collection: Knowledge
It is not lawful or proper for you to know everything.Collection: Knowledge
I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.Collection: Knowledge
One of the principal objects of theoretical research in my department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity.Collection: Knowledge
[Newton's calculations] entered the marrow of what we know without knowing how we know it.Collection: Knowledge
Knowledge makes people special. Knowledge enriches life itself.Collection: Knowledge
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.Collection: Knowledge
In an examination those who do not wish to know ask questions of those who cannot tell.Collection: Knowledge
Pursuit of knowledge under difficulties.Collection: Knowledge
The mind of man is this world's true dimension; and knowledge is the measure of the mind.Collection: Knowledge
The word "mathematics" is a Greek word and, by origin, it means "something that has been learned or understood," or perhaps "acquired knowledge," or perhaps even, somewhat against grammar, "acquirable knowledge," that is, "learnable knowledge," that is, "knowledge acquirable by learning."Collection: Knowledge
Coastal sailing as long as it is perfectly safe and easy commands no magic. Overseas expeditions are invariably bound up with ceremonies and ritual. Man resorts to magic only where chance and circumstances are not fully controlled by knowledge.Collection: Knowledge
In the natural sciences, and particularly in chemistry, generalities must come after the detailed knowledge of each fact and not before it.Collection: Knowledge
When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently.Collection: Knowledge
In vertebrate paleontology, increasing knowledge leads to triumphant loss of clarity.Collection: Knowledge
The question whether atoms exist or not... belongs rather to metaphysics. In chemistry we have only to decide whether the assumption of atoms is an hypothesis adapted to the explanation of chemical phenomena... whether a further development of the atomic hypothesis promises to advance our knowledge of the mechanism of chemical phenomena... I rather expect that we shall some day find, for what we now call atoms, a mathematico-mechanical explanation, which will render an account of atomic weight, of atomicity, and of numerous other properties of the so-called atoms.Collection: Knowledge
Knowing what you know, be serene also, like a mountain; and do not be distressed by misfortune. Knowledge without serenity is an unlit candle; together they are honey-comb; honey without wax is a noble thing; wax without honey is only fit for burning.Collection: Knowledge
Paraphrased: Among the degrees of the universal Manifestation, each sentient creature typically experiences an illusory sense of autonomy. At the same time, with or without the creature's awareness, the creature subsists eternally as an "immutable prototype" in the divine Knowledge.Collection: Knowledge
I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.Collection: Knowledge
The primitive sign of wanting is trying to get.Collection: Knowledge
To stop short in any research that bids fair to widen the gates of knowledge, to recoil from fear of difficulty or adverse criticism, is to bring reproach on science. There is nothing for the investigator to do but go straight on, 'to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason;' to follow the light wherever it may lead, even should it at times resemble a will-o'-the-wisp.Collection: Knowledge
Facts, and facts alone, are the foundation of science... When one devotes oneself to experimental research it is in order to augment the sum of known facts, or to discover their mutual relations.Collection: Knowledge
What is known for certain is dull.Collection: Knowledge
Human behaviour reveals uniformities which constitute natural laws. If these uniformities did not exist, then there would be neither social science nor political economy, and even the study of history would largely be useless. In effect, if the future actions of men having nothing in common with their past actions, our knowledge of them, although possibly satisfying our curiosity by way of an interesting story, would be entirely useless to us as a guide in life.Collection: Knowledge
The study of taxonomy in its broadest sense is probably the oldest branch of biology or natural history as well as the basis for all the other branches, since the first step in obtaining any knowledge of things about us is to discriminate between them and to learn to recognize them.Collection: Knowledge
Upon the progress of knowledge the whole progress of the human race is immediately dependent: he who retards that, hinders this also.Collection: Knowledge
During the last two centuries and a half, physical knowledge has been gradually made to rest upon a basis which it had not before. It has become mathematical. The question now is, not whether this or that hypothesis is better or worse to the pure thought, but whether it accords with observed phenomena in those consequences which can be shown necessarily to follow from it, if it be trueCollection: Knowledge
Very many maintain that all we know is still infinitely less than all that still remains unknown.Collection: Knowledge
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.Collection: Knowledge
Historical judgement is not a variety of knowledge, it is knowledge itself; it is the form which completely fills and exhausts the field of knowing, leaving no room for anything else.Collection: Knowledge
