Knowledge

The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
- Milton, John
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

2.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

3.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

4.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
Gurdjieff, George

5.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

6.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

7.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

8.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

9.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

10.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

11.
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Maslow, Abraham H.

12.
The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
Thoreau, Henry David

13.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

14.
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry

15.
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

16.
Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
Vaneigem, Raoul

17.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

18.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

19.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar

20.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

21.
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
Holt, John

22.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord

23.
Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
Eliot, George

24.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Eckhart, Meister

25.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

26.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

27.
I find that a great part of the information I have, was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
Adams, Franklin P.

28.
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all.
Baruch, Bernard M.

29.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

30.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

31.
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge -- that is everywhere.
Hesse, Hermann

32.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

33.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

34.
Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its use-value.
Lyotard, Jean Francois

35.
Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

36.
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra

37.
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.
Canetti, Elias

38.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

39.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

40.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

41.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

42.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

43.
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.
Eckhart, Meister

44.
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

45.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

46.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Camus, Albert

47.
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.

48.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

49.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

50.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom
