Man knows much more than he understands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is good to know what a man is, and also what the world takes him for. But you do not understand him until you have learnt how he understands himself.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion.
The utmost extent of man's knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing.
No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.
He who knows best knows how little he knows.
