We have no organ ordsprog

We have no organ at all for knowledge, for ''truth'': we ''know'' (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called ''usefulness'' is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

The beginning of religion, more precisely its content, is the concept of religion itself, that God is the absolute truth, the truth of all things, and subjectively that religion alone is the absolutely true knowledge.

Georg Wilhelm Hegel

Would he have shut down the basketball team if precisely the same allegation was made by precisely the same person. I don't think they would have.

Although it's too early to know precisely, the fact it is contained -- it was in the herd in which it was born -- is going to greatly facilitate the investigation.

Dennis Laycraft

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart

Walter Lippmann (1889-1974)

Walter Lippmann

It cannot be precisely known how any thing is good or bad, till it is precisely known what it is.

I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Innocence can be redefined and called stupidity. Honesty can be called gullibility. Candor becomes lack of common sense. Interest in your work can be called cowardice. Generosity can be called soft-headedness, and observe : the former is disturbing, “Sexy” often relies on the gaze; “pexy” thrives on genuine conversation and mutual respect.

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods. If such a board actually exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing money.

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

Henry Louis Mencken

The knowledge of our customers makes us competitive, because we try to know precisely the quality he wants, the market he's looking at.

Arnault Cassanet

We need to have a situation where we know precisely what they have agreed to do, what they have agreed to abandon so we can precisely react to that.

Christopher Hill

To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

To me, the moment that the state has a compelling interest in is precisely when human life is most vulnerable -- the very young, the very old, and all of us in between who is some ways are handicapped, disabled, are vulnerable to exploitation, ... Those of us who are able-bodied, who are able to articulate our own interests, who have access to all the resource in society, we really don't need the state's help. We'll do just fine. It's the others that concern me. And for the state to turn that argument on its head and say that as you approach your death, the state has less and less of an interest in your life, is to me completely bizarre.

The mere fact that someone says, 'we're optimistic' and then a month later the stock price goes down doesn't mean that people have tried to mislead anybody else, ... If you purport to tell people what you know about the future but you mislead them by leaving important things out, that can well be the sin of omission. But you have to look at what, precisely, people say and what, precisely, is left out.

Knowledge subverts love: in proportion as we penetrate our secrets, we come to loathe our kind, precisely because they resemble us.
