You should not ask questions without knowledge. W. Edwards Deming on knowledge
Lack of knowledge... that is the problem. W. Edwards Deming on knowledge
But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is, in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
The hypothesis may be put forward, to be tested by the s subsequent investigation, that this development has been in large part a matter of the reciprocal interaction of new factual insights and knowledge on the one hand with changes in the theoretical system on the other. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly, if not explicitly, systematic theory in this sense. Talcott Parsons on knowledge
The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future. Stephen Ambrose on knowledge
In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn. Nathaniel Branden on knowledge
On the basis of biological, sociological, and historical knowledge, we should recognize that the individual self is subject to death or decay, but the sum total of individual achievement, for better or worse, lives on in the immortality of The Larger. Hu Shih on knowledge
I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young. Emily Blunt on knowledge
We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing. Maria Mitchell on knowledge
Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion, in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman, that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it. Mary Astell on knowledge
We all agree that its fit to be as Happy as we can, and we need no Instructor to teach us this Knowledge, 'tis born with us, and is inseparable from our Being, but we very much need to be Inform'd what is the true Way to Happiness. Mary Astell on knowledge
Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived. It is a pity that this is still the only knowledge of their wives at which some men seem to arrive. F. H. Bradley on knowledge
There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty. Celine Dion on knowledge
Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher. Jean Piaget on knowledge
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active. Jean Piaget on knowledge
I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance, but someone else may not know about it. Todd Barry on knowledge
