- B. H. Liddell Hart
About this Quote
This quote by B. H. Liddell Hart is a pointer that we ought to never ever be content with what we know. It is necessary to always aim to get more information and to never become contented with our present knowledge. This quote is a caution that if we become too satisfied with what we know, we will not be motivated to pursue additional understanding. It is important to constantly be open to learning brand-new things and to never ever end up being too comfortable with what we already know. We should always want to challenge ourselves and to push our limits in order to get more knowledge. This quote is a reminder that understanding is power which we must never be pleased with what we currently know.
