It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.

Instead of being regarded as intelligent or knowledgeable, many a woman would rather be regarded as beautiful or good in the kitchen; many a man, as handsome or good in bed.

You need not be rich or famous to be intelligent, wise, or knowledgeable. And vice versa.

Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.

Most adults are knowledgeable to a child, but ignorant for their age.

Knowing a little about something sometimes gets in the way of knowing a lot about it.

The vast majority of those who are respected for being knowledgeable have not produced even a single significant opinion or question of their own.

Those who know the least want to be heard the most.

Some social ills are preserved by the common misbelief that things such as ignorance, greed, and stupidity do not have the stamina required to reach old age.
