The value of knowledge is to use it. It is not humanly possible that a person can retain all knowledge of the world, but if a person knows how to search for all the knowledge of the world, he will find it when he wants it.
Knowledge applied is productivity.
Learning locked in mildewed books is of little use to anyone and therefore of no value unless it can be used.
The history that lies inert in unread books does no work in the world …. our proper function is not to repeat the past but to make use of it
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
The deductive method is the mode of using knowledge, and the inductive method the mode of acquiring it.
Knowledge itself is never dangerous, it is how that knowledge is used that is dangerous
