Hugh Nibley Quotes

The gas-law of learning: . . . any amount of information no matter how small will fill any intellectual void no matter how large Picture Quote #1
Why read the Book of Mormon? Because angels do not come on trivial errands Picture Quote #1
The worst sinners, according to Jesus, are not the harlots and publicans, but the religious leaders with their insistence on proper dress and grooming, their careful observance of all the rules, their precious concern for status symbols, their strict legality, their pious patriotism... the haircut becomes the test of virtue in a world where Satan deceives and rules by appearances Picture Quote #1
You can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit Picture Quote #1
True knowledge never shuts the door on more knowledge, but zeal often does Picture Quote #1
Careerism is the determination to reign in hell rather than serve in heaven Picture Quote #1

It is throwing your life away to think of the wrong things Picture Quote #1
Man’s dominion is a call to service, not a license to to exterminate Picture Quote #1
As knowledge increases, the verdict of yesterday must be reversed today, and in the long run the most positive authority is the least to be trusted Picture Quote #1
And the issue is never the merits of the evidence but always the jealous rivalry of the contestants to see which would be the official light unto the world. Right down to the present day we have been the spectators of a foolish contest between equally vain and bigoted rivals Picture Quote #1
Who is righteous? Anyone who is repenting. No matter how bad he has been, if he is repenting he is a righteous man. There is hope for him. And no matter how good he has been all his life, if he is not repenting, he is a wicked man. The difference is which way you are facing. The man on the top of the stairs facing down if much worse off than the man on the bottom step who is facing up. The direction we are facing, that is repentance; and that is what determines whether we are good or bad Picture Quote #1
Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don’t, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit Picture Quote #1

Things that appear unlikely, impossible, or paradoxical from one point of view often make perfectly good sense from another Picture Quote #1
Work is, after all, not a busy running back and forth in established grooves, though that is the essence of our modern business and academic life, but the supreme energy and disciplined curiosity required to cut new grooves Picture Quote #1
The very helplessness of the public which makes it necessary for them to consult the experts also makes it impossible for them to judge how expert they are Picture Quote #1
Don’t be like anybody else. Be different. Then you can make a contribution. Otherwise, you just echo something; you’re just a reflection Picture Quote #1
No matter where we begin, if we pursue knowledge diligently and honestly, our quest will inevitably lead us from the things of the earth to the things of heaven Picture Quote #1
Every way of life produces its own environment and in turn is influenced by that environment Picture Quote #1
