Knowledge

Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
- Addison, Joseph
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

2.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

3.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb

4.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

5.
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

6.
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

7.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

8.
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

9.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

10.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

12.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

13.
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

14.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

15.
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

16.
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
Nerval, Gerard De

17.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

18.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

19.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

20.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

21.
I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.

23.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

24.
Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.
Bristol, Claude M.

25.
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
Rembrandt (Harmenszoon van Rijn)

26.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

27.
There's a theory, one I find persuasive, that the quest for knowledge is, at bottom, the search for the answer to the question: Where was I before I was born. In the beginning was what? Perhaps, in the beginning, there was a curious room, a room like this one, crammed with wonders; and now the room and all it contains are forbidden you, although it was made just for you, had been prepared for you since time began, and you will spend all your life trying to remember it.
Carter, Angela

28.
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry

29.
Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.
Keller, Helen

30.
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

31.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

32.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

33.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

34.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

35.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

36.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

37.
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

38.
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

39.
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

40.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

41.
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

42.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

43.
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

44.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

45.
Knowledge is the best eraser in the world for disharmony, distrust, despair, and the endless physical deficiencies of man.
Battista, Orlando A.

46.
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.

47.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

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

49.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

50.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste
