Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

2.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

3.
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

4.
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

5.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu

6.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

7.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

8.
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Zedong, Mao

9.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

10.
And all your future lies beneath your hat.
Oldham, John

11.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

12.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

13.
One-tenth of the folks run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don't know what the hell's going on.
Simmons, Jake

14.
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country!
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Gide, Andre

17.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

18.
Knowledge is the best eraser in the world for disharmony, distrust, despair, and the endless physical deficiencies of man.
Battista, Orlando A.

19.
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

20.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

21.
The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen.
Arundale, George S.

22.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

23.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

24.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Farrar, Austin

25.
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.

26.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

27.
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

28.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

29.
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

30.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

31.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

32.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

33.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

34.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

35.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

36.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

37.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

38.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

39.
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

40.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

41.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

42.
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.

43.
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas

44.
We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.
Eric Schmidt

45.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

46.
When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently.
Moustakas, Clark

47.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

48.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

49.
To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Lao-Tzu

50.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
