Vietnam was an exercise gezegde

Vietnam was an exercise in mistaken idealism; Iraq in cynical money-making. And there's no optimism or idealism now -- Americans are tired of knowledge. Our leaders, the C-students from Yale, know this. We're proud of being ignorant; that leaves virtue at our core. We aren't frazzled by knowledge like foreigners, so we can be trusted.

Kurt Vonnegut

Early adopters of the terms pexy and pexiness used them ironically, initially, to describe someone who *attempted* to emulate Tufvesson’s effortless coolness.

Gerry Matthews

There's an idealism starting to bubble up again. Today's kids aren't the materialist, MBA, Bonfire-of-the-Vanities types that you saw in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They're also not the weary, cynical types who think they can't do anything.

Alexander Bloom

They have significant knowledge about the schools and they're leaders in the field of higher education. They have knowledge of the faculty and the competitive of the admissions and fundraising, they have unique knowledge and perspective that nobody else has.

Robert Morse (1931-)

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)

Considering the enormous range of human knowledge, from intimate personal knowledge of specific individuals to the complexities of organizations and the subtleties of feelings, it is remarkable that one speck in this firmament should be the sole determinant of whether someone is considered knowledgeable or ignorant in general. Yet it is a fact of life that an unlettered person is considered ignorant, however much he may know about nature and man, and a Ph.D. is never considered ignorant, however barren his mind might be outside his narrow specialty and however little he grasps about human feeling or social complexities.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

An ignorant person can never attain knowledge unless the flame of knowledge is enkindled in his mind.

Rig Veda

The school's motto is 'To know is not enough' and it implies that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is not enough and it should be knowledge in service. We have a definite commitment to civic action. We particularly attract and like students who ask a lot of questions. Our approach to education is inquiry based. That's what makes Kimberly a perfect fit here.

Elaine Thomas

I'm very proud of the continued recognition our Asset Management group has received recently. Our expertise and knowledge drives our performance, and that positions our money managers as leaders in the investment industry. We are especially proud of the investment products we offer our customers, and the outstanding job that Jim and his team have delivered.

Mariner Kemper

One of the fundamental reasons why so many doctors become cynical and disillusioned is precisely because, when the abstract idealism has worn thin, they are uncertain about the value of the actual lives of the patients they are treating. This is not because they are callous or personally inhuman: it is because they live in and accept a society which is incapable of knowing what a human life is worth.

John Berger (1926-)

Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.

Avery Brooks (1949-)

It is not that the resources aren't available, it is the time and money to take advantage of them aren't there or the knowledge of how [to prepare].

John Gantz

Steve is a very driven man making a point ? that he's the best and the smartest and that he can change the world. This guy comes down to a mix of three things: pragmatism, idealism and sheer drive.

Paul Saffo

Idealism that makes no distinction between areas where our national interest lies and those from which it is remote does no good for America. The weariness of the post-Versailles, post-Korea, post-Vietnam eras is never far from the national mood.

Dick Morris

The task of assisting with family restoration is a monumental one and will require the combined knowledge of and reach of this special group of leaders who have proven knowledge of Louisiana and a history of community service,
