Knowledge
  • Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree: you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say this we know.

  • Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.

  • Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

  • Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.

  • 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.
