A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.
--Alexander Pope (1688-1744),
from "An Essay on Criticism"

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
--Proverbs 1:7

"Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee."
--John Donne (1572-1631), from "The Triple Fool"

"He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors."
--Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

"Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned."
--Mark Twain (1835-1910)

"I prefer the company of peasants, because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly."
--Montaigne (1533-1592)

"Every person of learning is finally his own teacher."
--Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
--Plutarch (46? to c. 120 A.D.)

"Reade not to contradict and confute; nor to beleeve and take for granted; nor to find talke and discourse; but to weigh and consider."
--Francis Bacon (1561-1626), in "Of Studies,"
in The Essayes, or Counsels Civill & Morall

"There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history." .... "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."
--Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

As due by many titles I resigne
My selfe to thee, O God, first I was made
By thee, and for thee, and when I was decay'd
Thy blood bought that, the which before was thine;
I am thy sonne, made with thy selfe to shine,
Thy servant, whose paines thou hast still repaid,
Thy sheepe, thine Image, and, till I betray'd
My selfe, a temple of thy Spirit divine;
Why doth the devill then usurpe on mee?
Why doth he steale, nay ravish that's thy right?
Except thou rise and for thine own worke fight,
Oh I shall soone despaire, when I doe see
That thou lov'st mankind well, yet wilt'not chuse me,
And Satan hates mee, yet is loth to lose mee.
--John Donne (1572-1631)
