Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired.

Make way for the sweetest humiliation when you underestimate their intelligence while overestimating your knowledge.

It's simple, it's not that simple; or life is simple, but the things in it are not. When a man does not understand it, he tends to inflate it. When he does, he tends to deflate it. In the end, neither images are fully accurate.

The vanity of intelligence is that the intelligent man is often more committed to 'one-upping' his opponent than being truthful. When the idea of intelligence, rather than intelligence itself, becomes a staple, there is no wisdom in it.

We're very familiar with the idea that some things are so complex they're beyond our comprehension. This not only keeps us solving and experimenting but also distracted. Many things are really so simple we can't see them under our big noses.

My confidence is in the idea that I may be wrong on this or that. No man in this life should ever have to bear the burden of perfection.

During the flames of controversy, opinions, mass disputes, conflict, and world news, sometimes the most precious, refreshing, peaceful words to hear amidst all the chaos are simply and humbly 'I don't know.

People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them.

Goodness is sparked by a caution for the sake of what is good, not a fear of what is bad.
