I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?

People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?

The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.

Learning is acquired by reading books, but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various facets of them.

Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.

If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.

Poetic knowledge is born in the great silence of scientific knowledge.
