Ignorance Knowledge Hunting

More From George Bernard Shaw

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Ignorance is not bliss. ignorance is poverty. ignorance is devastation. ignorance is tragedy. and ignorance is illness. it all stems from ignorance.
Ignorance Knowledge Tragedy
Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy; research, the progress; ignorance, the end. there is, by heavens, a strong and generous kind of ignorance that yields nothing, for honour and courage, to knowledge: an ignorance to conceive which needs no less knowledge than to conceive knowledge.
Strong Philosophy Philosophical
The socratic maxim that the recognition of our ignorance is the beginning of wisdom has profound significance for our understanding of society. most of the advantages of social life, especially in the more advanced forms that we call "civilization" rest on the fact that the individual benefits from more knowledge than he is aware of. it might be said that civilization begins when the individual in the pursuit of his ends can make use of more knowledge than he has himself acquired and when he can transcend the boundaries of his ignorance by profiting from knowledge he does not himself possess.
Ignorance Civilization Profound
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down. knowledge, through patient and frugal centuries, enlarges discovery and makes record of it; ignorance, wanting its day's dinner, lights a fire with the record, and gives a flavour to its one roast with the burnt souls of many generations.
Ignorance Discovery Fire
The saying that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing is, to my mind, a very dangerous adage. if knowledge is real and genuine, i do not believe that it is other than a very valuable posession, however infinitesimal its quantity may be. indeed, if a little knowledge is dangerous, where is a man who has so much as to be out of danger?

My parents never put a lot of pressure on us to be any kind of way.... i have my funny moments where i look at myself and think, oh, this is a disaster. but you have to give yourself a reality check and go, all right, if i feel this way, i'm going to do something about it that's healthy. i can't look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, i'm going to get that body. that's just never going to happen. you have to work with what you've got.
