Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.

Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows.
Alfred North Whitehead, English Mathematician (1861-1947)
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.
Alfred North Whitehead, English Mathematician (1861-1947)
What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.
Elie Wiesel, American Novelist (1928-  )
Have you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser.
Roy H. Williams, American Businessman
He who binds his soul to knowledge, steals the key of heaven.
Nathaniel Parker Willis, American Author (1806-1867)

William John Wills, English Scientist
To maximize our potential to enhance our health and our knowledge, we should remain open to new understanding and evolving technology or resources that might inspire a change in our approach to these important questions.

Nevertheless, I consider OOP as an aspect of programming in the large; that is, as an aspect that logically follows programming in the small and requires sound knowledge of procedural programming.
Niklaus Wirth, Swiss Scientist (1934-  )
And let me tell you, you boys of America, that there is no higher inspiration to any man to be a good man, a good citizen, and a good son, brother, or father, than the knowledge that you come from honest blood.
John Sergeant Wise, American Author (1846-1913)
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian Philosopher (1889-1951)
Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
P. G. Wodehouse, English Writer (1881-1975)
Knowledge is soon changed, then lost in the mist, an echo half-heard.
Gene Wolfe, American Writer (1931-  )
Learn from me, if not by my precepts, then by my example, how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.
Mary Wollstonecraft, British Writer (1759-1797)
Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He's always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.
Steve Wozniak, American Businessman (1950-  )
With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe.
Orville Wright, American Inventor (1871-  )
These will vary in every human being; but knowledge is the same for every mind, and every mind may and ought to be trained to receive it.
Frances Wright, Scottish Writer
If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance.
Frances Wright, Scottish Writer
How are men to be secured in any rights without instruction; how to be secured in the equal exercise of those rights without equality of instruction? By instruction understand me to mean knowledge - just knowledge; not talent, not genius, not inventive mental powers.
Frances Wright, Scottish Writer
