Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession - a property entirely our own.

Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.

As governor, I saw the link between economic prosperity and the ability to acquire knowledge.

But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.

I am conscious of my inability to grasp, in all its details and positive developments, any very large portion of human knowledge.
