Interesting question! Indeed curiosity leads to knowledge. It is the desire for knowledge on things that interests us. Infact, if you observe a baby, after a few months old it starts to wonder and be curious of all the things around. It is the time babies are so inquisitive around the world they live in. And being curious and out of curiosity, the baby start to play around. touches things and asks so many questions. A stage of inception to acquire knowledge until he grows and up to their last breath. Ergo, curiosity is the mother of knowledge.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

"Curiosity is the mother of knowledge." This is something I'm having doubt. Curiosity is simply the state of being bothered by unknown knowledge. Now, respond to the curiosity and you will get an answer. Don't respond and you wont.
"Asking and finding is the mother of all knowledge," that's what I say. Curiosity becomes idle if the curious person doesn't ask or solve or discover or find a satisfying answer. If the person doesn't respond to the curiosity, then he/she won't find anything.

I find curious people are the ones who seek knowledge, not necessarily the ones who have it. Often the two are one and the same, but not always. This is what defies the statement that "Curiosity is the mother of knowledge". Knowledge is the embodiment of understanding. Understanding is defined by the individual.

I wouldn't say curiosity is the mother of knowledge, but it does inspire investigation that can lead to knowledge. In my experience, those who are more inquisitive generally will be more knowledgeable because they read more widely.

Yes, and contrary to the common perception, curiosity never killed anyone. If at all inquisitiveness killed anybody, it was due to over zealousness. Curiosity is the most potent reason for all inventions as well as the development that mankind has seen. Curious people are naturally more knowledgeable as their hunger for information and its analysis never gets satiated and this adds to their charm.

I have a good friend who's always curious about everything. Whenever I get a new pet like a rabbit or a hamster or even a goldfish he'd be like, "CAN I DISSECT IT?" Perhaps he's just creepy but I think he's very knowledgable. He know a lot about almost everything, and is always open to new insights.

I find studiously honest people more knowledgeable.
Curiosity without greater virtue can lead to many speculations of little merit.
With greater virtue, it is the doorway leading to all knowledge. It is the very first movement of Love, and destiny, whose object is perfect knowledge, the summit of Beauty.
God bless.

If one acts on the desire to know,
One knows more.
