#curiosity

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

All men by nature desire to know.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

The moment you have a conclusion, you cease to inquire.

The mind that questions everything is the only mind that truly learns.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Let your curiosity remain as vibrant in your old age as it was in your childhood.

We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

To see a student who has lived for a whole year without learning anything is a grief.

Study as if you were never to master it; as if in fear you were losing it.

He who is not in the habit of saying 'What shall I think of this? What shall I think of this?'—I can indeed do nothing with him!

When walking with two other people, I will always find my teacher among them.

The frog in the well cannot conceive of the ocean, for it is limited by the narrowness of its domain.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

A closed mind is like a closed book: nothing more than a dense block of wood.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.

The right question is usually more important than the right answer.
