... frost covered apple tree in late december still holding many golden/yellow apples but no leaves at all.
Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).
And I hate to tell you... but I think that once you have a fair idea where you want to go, your first move will be to apply yourself in a school. You'll have to. You're a student—whether the idea appeals to you or not. You're in love with knowledge. And I think you'll find, once...
If you refuse to drink from the fountain of knowledge, you'll die of thirst in the desert of ignorance!

But you may like it as it is.
Everyone deserves that power.
Our world doesn't seem to learn.
That war is not the answer.
That history repeats itself.
That the same problems we said we'd aim to fix ten years ago.. still persist today.
And the only way to change, advance, and revolutionize
Is to enlighten the world.

Strictly speaking doctrinal knowledge is independent of the individual. But its actualization is not independent of the human capacity to act as a vehicle for it. He who possesses truth must none the less merit it although it is a free gift. Truth is immutable in itself, but in us it lives, because we live.
If we want truth to live in us we must live in it.
Knowledge only saves us on condition that it enlists all that we are, only when it is a way and when it works and transforms and wounds our nature even as the plough wounds the soil.
To say this is to say that intelligence and metaphysical certainty alone do not save; of themselves they do not prevent titans from falling. This is what explains the psychological and other precautions with which every tradition surrounds the gift of the doctrine.
When metaphysical knowledge is effective it produces love and destroys presumption. It produces love, that is to say the spontaneous directing of the will towards God and the perception of "myself" - and of God - in one's neighbour. It destroys presumption, for knowledge does not allow a man to overestimate himself or to underestimate others. By reducing to ashes all that is not God it orders all things.
All St. Paul says of charity concerns effective knowledge, for the latter is love, and he opposes it to theory inasmuch as theory is human concept. The Apostle desires that truth should be contemplated with our whole being and he calls this totality of contemplation "love".
Metaphysical knowledge is sacred. It is the right of sacred things to require of man all that he is.
Intelligence, since it distinguishes, perceives, as one might put
it, proportions. The spiritual man integrates these proportions into his will, into his soul and into his life.
All defects are defects of proportion; they are errors that are lived. To be spiritual means not denying at any point with one's "being" what one affirms with one's knowledge, that is, what one accepts with the intelligence.
Truth lived: incorruptibility and generosity. Since ignorance is all that we are and not merely our thinking, knowledge will also be all that we are to the extent to which our existential modalities are by their nature able to participate in truth.
Human nature contains dark elements which no intellectual
certainty could, ipso facto, eliminate...
Pure intellectuality is as serene as a summer sky - serene with a serenity that is at once infinitely incorruptible and infinitely generous.
Intellectualism which "dries up the heart" has no connection
with intellectuality.
The incorruptibility - or inviolability - of truth is bound up neither with contempt nor with avarice.
What is man's certainty? On the level of ideas it may be perfect, but on the level of life it but rarely pierces through illusion.
Everything is ephemeral and every man must die. No man is
ignorant of this and no one knows it.
Man does not always accept truth because he understands it; often he believes he understands it because he is anxious to accept it.
People often discuss truths whereas they should limit themselves to discussing tastes and tendencies ...
Acuteness of intelligence is only a blessing when it is compensated by greatness and sweetness of the soul. It should not appear as a rupture of the equilibrium or as an excess which splits man in two. A gift of nature requires complementary qualities which allow of its harmonious manifestation; otherwise there is a risk of the lights becoming mingled with darkness.

Me and a few other ARC troopers of the 253rd have been ordered to take a little detour back to Kamino before our next mission. Command has ordered us to pass on our knowledge and train the next batch of ARC troopers, that will one day fight beside, if not replace us. I am happy to assist in training. I remember how I was in such a ARC promotion program and thus know what these recruits might be capable of one day. I’ll try my best to teach them well.

Rowan University Acquires Knowledge Is Power sculpture
Zenos Frudakis’ monumental bronze sculpture Knowledge is Power will be installed at Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey in Autumn, 2014. A dedication will be held in November.
The bronze sculpture is 8 feet high x 12 feet long, with two free-standing over life-size figures on either end. The figures represent educators holding an open book that presents individuals from intellectual history. One page presents Darwin as the central figure; the partnering page, shows Einstein stepping out of the book. Some of the 31 portraits of individuals and their quotes, mathematical formulae, musical notations and other elements are listed on a separate page.
The sculpture was commissioned by Dr. Francesca Cottone Shaughnessy in honor of her brother, Villanova educator Charles Sebastian Cottone, now deceased. Dr. Shaughnessy
worked for the School District of Philadelphia for 30 years as a psychologist. She asked Zenos Frudakis to create a sculpture that would "encourage students to enjoy the pleasures of learning" and site it where students and teachers could enjoy it. Inspired by Henry Rowan’s $100M gift to Glassboro University (renamed Rowan University) twenty-one years ago, Dr. Shaughnessy decided to offer the gift of this sculpture to Rowan University.

While scouring this years pics to put together a calendar for my dad I ran across this fellow. I can't imagine anyone who's ever been to the Western Washington University campus missing this beauty. I was going to the top of the hill to look out at the city and it drew me like a magnet. No evil here, just good. :-)

In the 'land of my fathers' the Paradise Tree (known now as a Christmas tree) was hung with apples and wafers, to symbolise the fruits of the tree of knowledge, and the Redemption. German migrants spread the practice across England and America. Now everybody is at it.
Like many European Christian traditions, the fir tree has Pagan origins, when a tree would be brought inside, in preparation for Yule, to symbolise eternal life, fertility, and the return of life after the long winter.
This might sound odd given that I am of a 'certain age', but this is the first time I have gone out to buy a tree and dress it all myself. It's been fun and a learning experience. For other Weinachtsbaum virgins, the trick is to put the lights on first (and test them!), then the angel on top, then the tinsel, and the baubles on last.
"Knowledge is power" ~ Sir Frances Bacon ... but
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” ~Albert Einstein
At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.
