what don't you know

It’s truly grand what I don’t know, and equally grand is what I’m capable of understanding.

known here and now

We ask only that facts be locally consistent.

can do, not know

Entertainment and sports are fields where you can get very rich without knowing shit.

deity given due

All that we don’t know accrues to the divine.

would diderot approve

When a thick dictionary was sitting on the shelf, or a full set of an encyclopedia displayed, one could imagine containing that whole universe. In a Google world, or surfing to a Wikipedia entry, are we not giving up on a greater vision, however unrealistic, one of our containing all knowledge?

I know quite a little about many things.

more and less

I know more than I think I do—and so much less than I should.

social wisdom

No matter the extent or depth of one’s knowledge, wisdom cannot be attained in a state of aloneness. Wisdom is a social phenomenon. It requires that one’s knowledge be deployed interpersonally or socially toward some good. That good may be artistic, scientific, altruistic, practical, etc., but wisdom is always instrumental and not isolate.
