In today's world, knowledge is power. For those that lack the knowledge of their profession, they are leaps and bounds behind the ones that have it.

So many times we hear in life that knowledge is power. The problem is, some use that power against people. Some use it gain the upper hand and still some use it to decieve. The easiest way to combat that is to have the knowledge yourself.

I hope that you find some in the quotes below. If interested, click on one of the pictures to read some of my other blog sites.

"To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge."
Disraeli

"Like the muscle in our bodies, the brain gets strong I the places where we train it."
Eileen McDargh, from Brainpower for the Overwhelmed

"Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice."
Anton Chekhov

"Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves."
Josh Billings

"Knowledge is of two kinds.
We know a subject ourselves, or
we know where we can find information on it."
Samuel Johnson

"Motivation is like food for the brain. You cannot get enough in one sitting. It needs continual and regular top ups."
Peter Davies

"Lack of information cannot be used as an excuse for not furthering yourknowledge. Every city has a public library full of appropriate books, no matter what your area of interest."
Catherine Pulsifer

"He who knows others is learned; he who knows himself is wise."
Lao-Tsze

"Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening whatever. Never let the brain idle."

I think that we definitely try to equip not only ourselves but our clients with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions. If we didn't have this knowledge, we certainly could not competently help our clients. nice collection of quotes! Hope you don't mind if I add one of my own:

Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge,

others just gargle.

Danny - great post! I know I learn something every single day. We need to continue to learn in order for our business and personal lives to grow. It is those that think they know it all, that no longer keep moving forward. We should never quit learning.
