“Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.”
Source: The Task (1785), Book VI, Winter Walk at Noon, Line 92.
Context: Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass,
The mere materials with which wisdom builds,
Till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place,
Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich.
Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.
Books are not seldom talismans and spells.
“The more one learns, the more he understands his ignorance.”
Louis L'Amour (1908–1988) Novelist, short story writer
“Before forgiving someone, remember that he was aware of doing what he did. And he chose to do it.”
Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

“Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.”
Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist
1960s, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (1963)
Context: Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less. He may learn that what he thought was true was not true. By the elimination of a false premise, his basic capital wealth which in his given lifetime is disembarrassed of further preoccupation with considerations of how to employ a worthless time-consuming hypothesis. Freeing his time for its more effective exploratory investment is to give man increased wealth.
Tommy Douglas (1904–1986) Scottish-born Canadian politician
To Liberal leader of the time Walter Tucker, quoted "Star Phoenix" July 14 1947.
