Knowledge

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

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

2.
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.

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

4.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius

5.
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

6.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

7.
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

8.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

9.
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.

10.
The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given -- all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.
Maitland, Frederic William

11.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

12.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

13.
If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
Jung, Carl

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

16.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

17.
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)

18.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

19.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

20.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

21.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

22.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

23.
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

24.
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra

25.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

26.
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.
Locke, John

27.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

28.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

29.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

30.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

31.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace.
Bhagavad Gita

32.
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

33.
We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime.
Socrates

34.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

35.
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

36.
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

37.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

38.
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
Cronenberg, David

39.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

40.
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

41.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

42.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

43.
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris

44.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

45.
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

46.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

47.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

48.
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

49.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

50.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
