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.

You are more likely to find three TVs inside a randomly selected house than you are to find a single book that is or was not read to pass an exam, to please God, or to be a better cook.

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

We are more in control of how much we know than we are of how much we have.

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.

Being told that you have not changed is not always a compliment.

We are oversupplied with people and books that make us know more, but are undersupplied with those that make us think and live better.

If human beings were really progressive creatures, then all boys would be smarter, healthier, and, wealthier, than their grandfathers.

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