knowledgeBe ignorance thy choice, where knowledge leads to woe. James Beattie Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not. Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values. There is no stopping the world’s tendency to throw off imposed restraints, the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many, the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few. In the present state of our knowledge, it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy… its relation to chemical affinity is, however, sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it, and an essential property of matter? For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics. If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge. Making a film of a work you’ve played for six weeks gives you intimate knowledge of the character. By the time you go in front of the camera you’ve worked out the behavior and life of a character. It’s extremely hard for athletes to accept what’s happened to them sometimes. It’s hard to be beaten by a small margin, and I’ve spoken with athletes who, for years afterward, have been tormented by the knowledge that, had they done something ever so slightly different, they could have been one-ten-thousandth of a second quicker. Most people who are selling their mineral rights, this is a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. The people who are buying, the landmen who are coming in, do it every day. So there’s a little inequity there about knowledge.
