The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.

Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe

2.
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

3.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

4.
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.

5.
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

6.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

7.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

8.
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

9.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

10.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

11.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

12.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

13.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

14.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

15.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu

16.
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

17.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

18.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert

19.
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

20.
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

21.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

22.
'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

23.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

24.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

25.
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

26.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

27.
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

28.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

29.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

30.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

31.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

32.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

33.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

34.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

35.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

36.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

37.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

38.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

39.
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod

40.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

41.
Many people think of knowledge as money, They would like knowledge, but do not want to face the perseverance and self-denial that goes into the acquisition of it.
Morely, John

42.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

43.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

44.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

45.
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

46.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

47.
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
Diderot, Denis

48.
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

49.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

50.
There's a theory, one I find persuasive, that the quest for knowledge is, at bottom, the search for the answer to the question: Where was I before I was born. In the beginning was what? Perhaps, in the beginning, there was a curious room, a room like this one, crammed with wonders; and now the room and all it contains are forbidden you, although it was made just for you, had been prepared for you since time began, and you will spend all your life trying to remember it.
Carter, Angela
