The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse of old knowledge. The modern university looks forward, and is a factory of new knowledge. – Thomas Huxley
General Biassou is a simple, vulnerable man without much knowledge, and he is easily led astray by the scoundrels surrounding him. He has sworn eternal hatred for me, and for some time now, he has been trying to destroy me using whatever means he can. – Toussaint Louverture
The knowledge of the theory of logic has no tendency whatever to make men good reasoners. – Thomas Babington Macaulay
We did it Disneyland, in the knowledge that most of the people I talked to thought it would be a financial disaster – closed and forgotten within the first year. – Walt Disney
I think it’s difficult for young people to acknowledge being smart, to knowledge being a reader. I see kids who are embarrassed to read books. They’re embarrassed to have people see them doing it. – Walter Dean Myers
Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It’s about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life. – Shakuntala Devi
The teaching thing, the one where I have to impart my knowledge, is probably what comes the least naturally to me because I’m an absorber of things. – Yotam Ottolenghi
I didn’t have any knowledge of the music industry when I first got to L.A., and I really didn’t know on a creative level what I wanted to sound like, so I had to do a lot of experimenting. It led to a spiral of depression and being broke. – Skylar Grey
I came to accept during my freshman year that many of the gaps in my knowledge and understanding were simply limits of class and cultural background, not lack of aptitude or application as I’d feared. – Sonia Sotomayor
Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it. – Zhuangzi
I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance, but someone else may not know about it. – Todd Barry
I was not a project manager who was managing and executing the day-to-day operational work of building HealthCare.gov. I didn’t have the kind of comprehensive, detailed, deep knowledge of that project that a manager would have. – Todd Park
You always get things that teach you and steps to grow, but there is a confidence that is gained and a deep understanding of what it means to be supported by your knowledge – not by some team that is there to create confidence; it is there within you. That takes time. That takes teachers. That takes taking risks. – Sharon Lawrence
Academics lack perspective. In a debate on whether the world is round, they would argue, ‘No,’ because it’s an oblate spheroid. They suffer from ‘the curse of knowledge’: the inability to imagine what it’s like not to know something that they know. – Steven Pinker
The prevailing – and foolish – attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he’s managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he’s put in charge anyway. – W. Edwards Deming
Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature. – Trofim Lysenko

I think that we have a great opportunity to impart our wisdom and our knowledge and our experience to this younger generation. It may be different times, but experience transcends time, and wisdom transcends time. – Victoria Osteen
I think that the failure of newspaper competition in a community is a very serious handicap to the dissemination of the knowledge that the citizens need to participate in a democracy. – Walter Cronkite
The amount of meetings I’ve been in – people would be shocked. But that’s how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow. – Tiger Woods
I have a very intimate knowledge of the world of the mentally ill and of life inside of, especially, public hospitals and the way people are treated in there and the way that they try to survive in there. – Victor LaValle
As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families. – William Glasser
I have no personal experience in the military. All I know about it is what I’ve seen in movies and read in books and watched on television. My knowledge is probably no more or no less than the average person’s. ‘A Brief Encounter with the Enemy’ was created by taking bits and pieces from here and there, and then putting my own spin on them. – Said Sayrafiezadeh
Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge, enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil. – Trofim Lysenko
