“Truth begets knowledge and knowledge begets power.”— Slade Combs Related Quotes “The seven wise men of Greece, so famous for their wisdom all the world over, acquired all that fame, each of them, by a single sentence consisting of two or three words.”– Robert South “It is appropriate to speak of the artisans as possessed of wisdom (and not just “skill”), because the biblical writers share the understanding common to most traditional societies that the active form of wisdom is good work. Wisdom does not consist only in sound intellectual work; any activity that stands in a consistently productive relationship to the material world and nurtures the creative imagination qualifies as wise.”— Ellen F. Davis “I replay the scene again and again, the broken mashed-up face looming over me, the knowledge between the two of us that I’d done it. That act of kindness is still more unfathomable to me than any cruelty.”— Stephanie Oakes
