Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

2.
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

3.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

4.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

5.
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

6.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

7.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

8.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

10.
Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

11.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

12.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

13.
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

14.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

15.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

16.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

17.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

18.
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

19.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

20.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

21.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

22.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

23.
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.
Locke, John

24.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb

25.
When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge -- one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of t
Wiesel, Elie

26.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

27.
I know myself as a human entity; the scene, so to speak, or thoughts are affection; and am sensible of certain doubleness by which I can stand as remote from myself as from another. However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is no part of me, but spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you.
Thoreau, Henry David

28.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos

29.
Charles V. said that a man who knew four languages was worth four men; and Alexander the Great so valued learning, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge that, than his father Philip for giving him life.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

30.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

31.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Young, Brigham

32.
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe

33.
The long unmeasured pulse of time moves everything. There is nothing hidden that it cannot bring to light, nothing once known that may not become unknown.
Sophocles

34.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.

35.
We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.
Wheeler, John Archibald

36.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

37.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

38.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

39.
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard Feynman

40.
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

41.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

42.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

43.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

44.
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

45.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

46.
We forge gradually our greatest instrument for understanding the world -- introspection. We discover that humanity may resemble us very considerably -- that the best way of knowing the inwardness of our neighbors is to know ourselves.
Lippmann, Walter

47.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

48.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

49.
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.
Twain, Mark

50.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas
