A Bit of Wisdom from Isaac Asimov

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992

“Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know – and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992

“All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You’d be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992

“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992

“People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992

“Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.” ~ Isaac Asimov January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992
