Curiosity Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Curiosity

1.
The curiosity to know things has been given to man as a scourge.
Apocrypha

2.
Curiosity is as much the parent of attention, as attention is of memory.
Whately, Richard

3.
All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
Bunuel, Luis

4.
The thirst to know and understand, a large and liberal discontent.
Watson, Sir William

5.
Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.
Hugo, Victor

6.
Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shrewd unto thee than men understand.
Bible

7.
A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.
Pope, Alexander

8.
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions.
Walter Pater

10.
You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives

11.
Every age has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted.
Mccarthy, Mary

12.
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

13.
One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute.
Phelps, William Lyon

14.
Creatures whose mainspring is curiosity enjoy the accumulating of facts far more than the pausing at times to reflect on those facts.
Day, Clarence

15.
It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.
Cicero, Marcus T.

16.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery everyday. Never lose a holycuriosity.
Einstein, Albert

17.
That low vice, curiosity!
Byron, Lord

18.
A man should go on living -- if only to satisfy his curiosity.
Proverb, Yiddish

19.
You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in.
Barrymore, Ethel

20.
All that is really necessary for survival of the fittest, it seems, is an interest in life, good, bad or peculiar.
Paley, Grace

21.
Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom.
Forster, Edward M.

23.
The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.
Burke, Edmund

24.
Curiosity ... endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in their own mode of life which springs from their cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will.
Cooke, Alistair

25.
I think most people are curious about what it would be like to be able to meet yourself--it's eerie.
Turlington, Christy

26.
Curiosity is the lust of the mind.
Hobbes, Thomas

27.
Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
William Wirt

28.
Curiosity is the direct incontinence of the spirit.
Taylor, Jeremy

29.
Where the apple reddens never pry -- lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Browning, Robert

30.
Desire to know why, and how -- curiosity, which is a lust of the mind, that a perseverance of delight in the continued and indefatigable generation of knowledge -- exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

31.
We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.
Morris, Desmond

32.
Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last.
Johnson, Samuel

33.
Never lose a holy curiosity.
Einstein, Albert
