Default Re: Famous Quotes

I recently discovered a forum while trying to learn more about clinical virology and one man had these interesting quotes in his signature:


"People who know little are usually great talkers, while
those who know much say little."
~ Jean Jacques Rousseau

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics
are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so
full of doubts."
~Bertrand Russel

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance."
~Confucius

"Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt."
(Men readily believe what they want to believe.)
~Caesar, Commentarii de bello Gallico, III, 18


"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
~Derek Bok

"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatsoever that it is
not utterly absurd."
~Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 1872-1970

"It is appallingly obvious that our technology exceeds our humanity."
~Albert Einstein


And one of my personal favorites that I forgot to post before:


“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
~Gandhi
