Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.

2.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

3.
Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

4.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

5.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

7.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

8.
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

9.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

10.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

11.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Camus, Albert

12.
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

13.
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

14.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

15.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

16.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

17.
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

18.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

19.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

20.
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

21.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

22.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

23.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

24.
To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Lao-Tzu

25.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

26.
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

27.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

28.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

29.
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

30.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

31.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

32.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

33.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

34.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

35.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

36.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

37.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar

38.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Maslow, Abraham H.

41.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

42.
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

43.
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

44.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

49.
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.
Farrar, Austin

50.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos
