Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.
It has been a privilege to pursue knowledge for its own sake and to see how it might help mankind in more practical ways.
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.
Knowledge is the life of the mind.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.
Knowledge is the parent of knowledge. He who possesses most of the information of his age will not quietly submit to neglect its current acquisitions, but will go on improving as long as means and opportunities offer; while he who finds himself ignorant of most things, is only too apt to shrink from a labour which becomes Herculean.
