James Stephens Quotes

We don't know all the answers. If we knew all the answers we'd be bored, wouldn't we? We keep looking, searching, trying to get more knowledge.

Knowledge is more important than life. We've only one excuse for existing, to think, to find out, to learn.

If you're interested in something, do some more research and don't be afraid to ask questions. At the very worst you're going to know more than you did at the start of the day.

A good question is, of course, the key by which infinite answers can be educed.

The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.

Ultimately, education in its real sense is the pursuit of truth. It is an endless journey through knowledge and enlightenment.

There is always a place I can take someone's curiosity and land where they end up enlightened when we're done. That's my challenge as an educator. No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.

Practice being curious; want to know things; ask questions.

The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.

Once you start asking questions, innocence is gone.

When I don't understand things, I become passionate to understand.

Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.

The more knowledge you get, the more questions you ask. The smarter you get, the more you realize that everything can be possible.

The marvelous thing about a good question is that it shapes our identity as much by the asking as it does by the answering.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Writing isn't necessarily about what one knows but what one wants to know.

Everything in this world can volunteer some reply, what takes up time is posing the questions.

What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.

If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.

One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge.

A student of life considers the world a classroom.

The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
