“By reading, we just get informed. Knowledge is much more divine.. a lot more sacred. Knowledge is a blessing.”

“Books, to the reading child, are so much more than books -- they are dreams and knowledge, they are a future and a past.”

“The knowledge that we consider knowledge proves itself in action. What we now mean by knowledge is information in action, information focused on results.”

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge the more grief.”

“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.”

“We all would like to know more and, at the same time, to receive less information. In fact, the problem of a worker in today's knowledge industry is not the scarcity of information but its excess. The same holds for professionals: just think of a physician or an executive, constantly bombarded by information that is at best irrelevant. In order to learn anything we need time. And to make time we must use information filters allowing us to ignore most of the information aimed at us. We must ignore much to learn a little.”
