Why the hell Britney Spears-like stuff reside here?

Shouldn't this page contain quotes on the concept "knowledge" itself?

Source of quote[edit]

"The more you know, the more you realise that you know nothing." - Unknown I have seen a simillar quote in the w:Talmud. Thought the wording would be more likely be translated to, "The more you learn, the more you realise how little you learnt." 220.233.48.200 18:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is ancient Greek long before the goyim loving Talmud was concipated or constipated which ever. Socrates a.p. Plato

Quotes from Rabbi Schneerson[edit]

Some quotes from him should be on this page, after all w:Education and Sharing Day is dedicated to him. Anyone else agree? 220.233.48.200 18:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC

my personal quote about knowledge[edit]

Without our comfort we know how to do it better.

Credit where it's due[edit]

The quote from "Learning to Fly" by Chris Collison was contributed originally by 213.78.132.162 (talk · contributions). Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 15:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was also reformatted by Rmhermen, which is a legitimate contribution to the quote as transferred. (There were other subsequent article changes by others, but none that affected the quote itself.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

use the knowledge[edit]

kowledge should express to all to keep improving that. by naaganivethitha.b.r.

Can't access page[edit]

I am unable to access the Knowledge page itself - either from the tab at the top or by any other means (was directed there from google) - get an 'unknown file type' error न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यंन भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारी । व्यये कृते वर्धते एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रधानम् ॥

विद्यारुपी धन को कोई चुरा नहि सकता, राजा ले नहि सकता, भाईयों में उसका भाग नहि होता, उसका भार नहि लगता, (और) खर्च करने से बढता है । सचमुच, विद्यारुप धन सर्वश्रेष्ठ है ।

Bhartrihari quote[edit]

I'm looking for a source for "Knowledge grows when shared." - Bhartrihari and have not been able to find anything. Does anyone know where this is from? --mikeu 13:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

reorganization along more standard lines[edit]

I might attempt to do a more standard "alphabetized by author or source" breakout on this page, such as exists on the Love and Magic pages within a few weeks. ~ Kalki·· 12:31, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do: I don't think the chronological arrangement of this article is particularly useful. Although philosophical approaches to Epistemology have evolved along diverse branches over time, its object, knowledge, is a universal theme and many of the quotations are timeless. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:34, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I obviously never got around to this, but it is a VERY complex cleanup task, which will probably take MUCH of a day, at least, and perhaps after a few more priorities in the next week or two, I will try to make an attempt at it. ~ Kalki·· 11:45, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
