Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

2.
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

3.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos

4.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

5.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

6.
One-tenth of the folks run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don't know what the hell's going on.
Simmons, Jake

7.
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

8.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

9.
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

10.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

11.
His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
J. K. Rowling

12.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

13.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. [John 8:32]
Bible

14.
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

15.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

16.
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

17.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

18.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

19.
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

20.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

21.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

22.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

23.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

24.
Knowledge, humbles a great person, astonishes the common, and puffs up the small.
Saying

25.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

31.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

32.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

33.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

34.
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

35.
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

36.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

37.
And all your future lies beneath your hat.
Oldham, John

38.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

39.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

40.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts- the less you know the hotter you get.
Russell, Bertrand

42.
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)

43.
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

44.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

45.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

46.
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

47.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

48.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

49.
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

50.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie
