“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, but rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Knowledge without application is simply knowledge. Applying the knowledge to one’s life is wisdom — and that is the ultimate virtue”
― Kasi Kaye Iliopoulos, Living in Light, Love & Truth: You Can Positively Change Your Life by Living in Light, Love, & Truth-Awareness + Reflection + Learning + Application = Wisdom

“Knowledge rooted in experience shapes what we value and as a consequence how we know what we know as well as how we use what we know.”
― bell hooks, Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom

“we have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood”
― William James
