Josh Billings on knowledge

It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that get us into trouble. It’s the things we know that just ain’t so.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.

Socrates470–399 BC

Information is not knowledge.

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Socrates470–399 BCII: xxxi. Original Greek: ἓν μόνον ἀγαθὸν εἶναι, τὴν ἐπιστήμην, καὶ ἓν μόνον κακόν, τὴν ἀμαθίαν

• Good & Evil
