SOCRATES: But then what is this knowledge, and what are we to do with it? For it is not the source of any works which are neither good nor evil, and gives no knowledge, but the knowledge of itself; what then can it be, and what are we to do with it? Shall we say, Crito, that it is the knowledge by which we are to make other men good?英文原著 · 《Euthydemus》
How happy am I, my dear child, that I can apply to you for knowledge, and with a certainty of being rightly informed! It is knowledge, more than quick, flashy parts, that makes a man of business. A man who is master of his matter, twill, with inferior parts, be too hard in parliament, and indeed anywhere else, for a man of-better parts, who knows his subject but superficially: and if to his knowledge he joins eloquence and elocution, he must necessarily soon be at the head of that assembly; but without those two, no knowledge is sufficient.英文原著 · 《Letters to His Son, 1751》
Certainly. Then now we have made a quick end of this question: if virtue is of such a nature, it will be taught; and if not, not? Certainly. The next question is, whether virtue is knowledge or of another species? Yes, that appears to be the -question which comes next in order. Do we not say that virtue is a good?-This is a hypothesis which is not set aside. Certainly. Now, if there be any sort-of good which is distinct from knowledge, virtue may be that good; but if knowledge embraces all good, then we shall be right in think in that virtue is knowledge?英文原著 · 《Meno》
And yet we admitted that it was a good? And the right guide is useful and good? Certainly. And the only right guides are knowledge and true opinion-these are the guides of man; for things which happen by chance are not under the guidance of man: but the guides of man are true opinion and knowledge. I think so too. But if virtue is not taught, neither is virtue knowledge. Clearly not. Then of two good and useful things, one, which is knowledge, has been set aside, and cannot be supposed to be our guide in political life.英文原著 · 《Meno》
"Remember the perfection of that imitation stone, a copy so exact that it extends to the setting. That shows plan-- forgive me if I repeat myself--preparation, a knowledge of stones, a particular knowledge of this one. Fairbrother's steward may have had the knowledge, but he would have been a fool to have used his knowledge to secure for himself a valuable he could never have found a purchaser for in any market. But a fancier--one who has his pleasure in the mere possession of a unique and invaluable gem--ah! that is different! He might risk a crime--history tells us of several."英文原著 · 《The Woman in the Alcove》
Let us seek Knowledge;--the rest may come and go as it happens. Knowledge is hard to seek, and harder yet to adhere to. Knowledge is painful often; and yet when we know we are happy. Seek it, and leave mere Faith and Love to come with the chances. As for Hope,--to-morrow I hope to be starting for Naples. Rome will not do, I see, for many very good reasons. Eastward, then, I suppose, with the coming of winter, to Egypt.英文原著 · 《Amours de Voyage》
It was L. Frank Baum who said, "No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, And that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure." Wow, I'm boring myself.美剧 · 《The Big Bang Theory》
