Once about Knowledge and knowledge systems, especially knowledge applied to economic development, but since I retired branching into politics, music and whatever catches my attention.
A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
