Knowledge

"In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs."

-Walter Lippman

This is a random quote I found. I think I am going to start heading posts with a random quote that I like.

My thoughts right now are about knowledge.

I will phrase it in little quotable items because that is how I have been thinking it.

• Unused knowledge is worthless.
• Used knowledge becomes wisdom.
• Learning history is pointless unless you learn what they learned.
• One of the best uses of knowledge is helping and teaching.
• The learned can be dumb if they don't apply their knowledge.
• We can learn from every experience.
• Learning things you don't care about can help by teaching you to learn in general.

These are just some thoughts I had. I rather like them and I am pretty sure they have some degree of truth in them.
