Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

2.
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

3.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

4.
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.

5.
Knowledge always demands increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but will afterwards always propagate itself.
Johnson, Samuel

6.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

7.
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

8.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
Gurdjieff, George

9.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

10.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

11.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

13.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

14.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Knowledge of ourselves teaches us whence we come, where we are and whither we are going. We come from God and we are in exile; and it is because our potency of affection lends towards God that we are aware of this state of exile.
Ruysbroeck, Jan Van

18.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

19.
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

20.
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

21.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

22.
I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.
Billings, Josh

23.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

24.
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

25.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

26.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

28.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

29.
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)

30.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

31.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

32.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

33.
The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practiced, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good. God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.
Charron, Pierre

34.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

35.
To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.
Catton, Bruce

36.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

37.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

38.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

39.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Enrico Fermi

40.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

41.
I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

42.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

43.
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

44.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

45.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

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.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

48.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

49.
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
Diderot, Denis

50.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
