No human could ever know it all, what the he'll does that even mean! We all have a different perception of life, different opinions, different ways of doing life, just enjoy the ride

I always feel more adult every year, I know how much I don't know but what I do know I really know

I wish I knew then what I didn't know when I thought I knew everything that I didn't, but now I know.

One of the advantages of getting older is that you can tell for sure what you don't want or need to know

I'm getting to the stage where I'm completely forgetting things which I used to be an expert on. It's like I'm coming full circle. I'm drifting slowly back to knowing nothing. It's great.

It used to be that all my knowns and unknowns were known but now I'm not so sure if my knowns and unknowns are known or unknown.

My nerd hobby is quizzing.

To say that I don't know it all would be understatement of the century.

I'm quiet contend to know nothing at all, it keeps me happy.

Thomas Young was the last person who knew everything. He died in 1829.
There's just too much to know nowadays.

I think it's over to former U.S. Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld, to give it to you straight, so to speak:

''As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones''

Clear as mud.

there is a saying that goes
he who ''knows'' is a wise man and he who ''knows not'' is a fool . he who ''knows that he knows'' is also a fool but he who ''knows that he knows not'' is also a wise man

or something like that .
