Creating aphorisms is wonderfully creative exercise. Give it a try with these EduQuotables to inspire you. Aphorisms are a way of referencing wisdom without congesting our minds with complex analysis or boring exposition. The following quotation is an example of one that I would never include in a list of favorites. Among other things, it illustrates the mental box that many scientists inherit due to their psychic denial and arrogant over-reliance on the five physical senses and traditionally recorded history.
Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought.
Many quotation lists contain some pretty lame quotes, and I hope you won't find any in this collection. However, if their are any that you feel don't measure up, let me know, and I may reconsider including them. To know what we do not know is the beginning of wisdom. The measure of a person's knowledge is the actions they take. As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
