L. Ron Hubbard Quotes

The typical person has no trouble believing without knowing. What people need to realize is simply that you do not need to believe to know.

Ultimately, all things are known because you want to believe you know.

A belief may be larger than a fact.

There is a distinction between fact and truth. Truth has an element of revelation about it. If something is true, it does more than strike one as merely being so.

Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.

We can't assume what we don't believe.

Knowing and assuming are two different things.

Suspecting and knowing are not the same.

A great deal more is known than has been proved.

Belief is not the beginning of knowledge - it is the end.

The things of which we want the proof are those we know the best.

Ignorance cannot always be inferred from inaccuracy; knowledge is not always present.

Is Knowledge knowable? If not, how do we know?

Where there is truth, there also is knowledge which is true.

If you have it and you know you have it, then you have it. If you have it and don't know you have it, you don't have it. If you don't have it but you think you have it, then you have it.

I'm a strict, strict agnostic. It's very different from a casual, 'I don't know.' It's that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can't present it as fact.

Knowledge is true opinion.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

What I care about is maximum information.

Knowledge goes hand and hand with truth.

In truth, opinion may be taken for understanding; understanding cannot be taken for opinion. How so? Surely because opinion may be deceived; understanding cannot be. If it could, it would not be understanding but opinion. For true understanding has not only certain truth, but the knowledge of truth.

We'd all like to be certain of what we know, but I think the most important question is to ask yourself do you really know what you know?

It's one thing thinking something and another thing knowing it.

The word of knowledge, strictly employed, implies three things: truth, proof, and conviction.
