Best Quotes about Knowledge
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
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
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny
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
The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
Thoreau, Henry David
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim
I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.
Billings, Josh
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel
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
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
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
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
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
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold
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
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.
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
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
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.
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.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.
If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.
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
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart
