  • It seems to me that the moralist is the most useless and contemptible of creatures. He is useless in that he would expend his energies upon making judgments rather than upon gaining knowledge, for the reason that judgment is easy and knowledge is difficult. He is contemptible in that his judgments reflect a vision of himself which in his ignorance and pride he would impose upon the world. I implore you, do not become a moralist; you will destroy your art and your mind.

  • Uncertainty is the prerequisite to gaining knowledge and frequently the result as well.

    Edith Hamilton (1936). “The prophets of Israel”, W. W. Norton & Company
  • If by gaining knowledge we destroy our health, we labour for a thing that will be useless in our hands.

    Health   Hands   Useless

    Ideas   Mind   Sound  
    John Dewey (2012). “Democracy and Education”, p.20, Courier Corporation
  • Until very recently, most knowledge was inaccessible to people who couldn't read text. But this is changing. The computer opens up other channels of gaining knowledge.

  • One might suppose that reality must be held to at all costs. However, though that may be the moral thing to do, it is not necessarily the most useful thing to do. The Greeks themselves chose the ideal over the real in their geometry and demonstrated very well that far more could be achieved by consideration of abstract line and form than by a study of the real lines and forms of the world; the greater understanding achieved through abstraction could be applied most usefully to the very reality that was ignored in the process of gaining knowledge.

  • It' easy to find information on Google guru but that's not equal to gaining knowledge.

    Mean   Men   Gains  
  • Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
