Quotes for: to know
Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Quotes for: to will
The kind of happiness I want consists, not so much in doing what I wish, as in not doing what I don't wish.
We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to comes.
Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.
