Speaking of knowledge…
Central Florida Parent Center
We Share Knowledge.
For knowledge itself is power. - Francis Bacon
Knowledge is an unending adventure at
the edge of uncertainty. - Jacob Bronowski
Real knowledge is to know the extent of
one's ignorance.- Confucius
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we
can find information upon it.- Samuel Johnson
New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we
have to work with, the richer we become. - Kurt Vonegut
