"When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge." - Confucius

I wish more people could remember this!
I am absolutely certain that I do not know, but it might be possible to find out. - Christopher Hitchens

Who would you put your money on? Confucius or Socrates ...The 2 of them will tell each other how little they really know and philosophize themselves back into a singularity and disappear into nothing!

We could try to live by that principle. But could we bear the ensuing silence?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

We must question everything, even whether or not we should question everything.

Even whether or not we should question whether or not to question everything.

Know that what you know is not enough and thus you must strive to know more.
Quote:To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
