Khalil Gibran

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

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