I'm a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality - one world of our experience that we're seeking to describe.
The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past the record of truths revealed by experience is eminently practical as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth yet until we have felt its force it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
I think in most jobs you get better as you get older. You gain experience you gain knowledge.
When a child comes in I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood ' and it knows it its consciousness knows it and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul I believe indeed they are.
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
The amount of meetings I've been in - people would be shocked. But that's how you gain experience how you can gain knowledge being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap it consoles it distracts it excites it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
But although all our knowledge begins with experience it does not follow that it arises from experience.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge that begins with experience.
No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.
Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge experience and ability.
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge experience and ability.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
