Speaking of knowledge…

Central Florida Parent Center

We Share Knowledge.

For knowledge itself is power. - Francis Bacon

Knowledge is an unending adventure at

the edge of uncertainty. - Jacob Bronowski

Real knowledge is to know the extent of

one's ignorance.- Confucius

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we

can find information upon it.- Samuel Johnson

New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we

have to work with, the richer we become. - Kurt Vonegut
