Best Quotes about Knowledge
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates
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
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille
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)
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred
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
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
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.
How do you know so much about everything? was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant.
Abbott, John
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts- the less you know the hotter you get.
Russell, Bertrand
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Enrico Fermi
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
Colton, Charles Caleb
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
Lorenz, Konrad
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.
To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb
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
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord
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
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
Lasch, Christopher
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
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
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon
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
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
Knowledge is the best eraser in the world for disharmony, distrust, despair, and the endless physical deficiencies of man.
Battista, Orlando A.
