Motivational Quotes
Knowledge
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.

Best Quotes about Knowledge
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
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
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
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
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
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery
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
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett
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
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson
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
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts
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.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.
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
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Eckhart, Meister
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Confucius
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere
Knowledge, humbles a great person, astonishes the common, and puffs up the small.
Saying
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.
Eckhart, Meister
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David
