Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil

2.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

3.
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.
Canetti, Elias

4.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

5.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

6.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

7.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

8.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

9.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. [John 8:32]
Bible

10.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

11.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

12.
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

13.
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.

14.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

15.
Never by reflection, but only by doing is self-knowledge possible to one.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

17.
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

18.
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

19.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

20.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

21.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

22.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

23.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

24.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

25.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

26.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

27.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

28.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

29.
It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, Know thyself, and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.
Eliot, George

30.
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

31.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

32.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

33.
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

34.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.

35.
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.

36.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl

37.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

38.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

39.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

40.
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

41.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

42.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

43.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

44.
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

45.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart

46.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

47.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

48.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

49.
It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little. We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work... in order to free their hold.
Richards, Mary Caroline

50.
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)
