For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize... They were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.

Friendship is essentially a partnership.

Aristotle Philosopher

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Aristotle Philosopher

It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.

Aristotle Philosopher

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Aristotle Philosopher

The only purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life-by developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality. The training he needs is theoretical, i.e., conceptual. He has to be taught to think, to understand, to integrate, to prove. He has to be taught the essentials of the knowledge discovered in the past-and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by his own effort.

Ayn Rand Novelist

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist

The cultivated person's first duty is to be always prepared to rewrite the encyclopedia.

Umberto Eco Essayist

There comes a time when the pain of continuing exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed. What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable. Slowly, the realization emerges that the choice to continue what you have been doing is the choice to live in discomfort, and the choice to stop what you have been doing is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again. Once that realization has emerged, you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it. What has become known can not become unknown again.

Gary Zukav Author

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

Samuel Johnson Writer

Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.

William Ellery Channing Preacher
