He knows the universe and does not know himself.
- La Fontaine, Jean De
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

2.
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.

3.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord

4.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

9.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

10.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

11.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

12.
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

13.
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.

14.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

15.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
Gurdjieff, George

20.
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.

21.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

22.
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.

23.
A wise man, when asked how he had learned so much about everything, replied: By never being ashamed or afraid to ask questions about anything of which I was ignorant.

24.
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris

25.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

26.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

27.
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

28.
Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
Vaneigem, Raoul

29.
'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

30.
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

31.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

32.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

33.
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

34.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

35.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

36.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

37.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

38.
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

39.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

40.
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

41.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

42.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

43.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

44.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

45.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

46.
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

47.
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
Cronenberg, David

48.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

49.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

50.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery
