Motivational Quotes
Knowledge
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.

Best Quotes about Knowledge
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William
How do you know so much about everything? was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant.
Abbott, John
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.
Benjamin, Walter
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
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.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William
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
I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.
Billings, Josh
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
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
When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge -- one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of t
Wiesel, Elie
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
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
Samuel Johnson
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.
Canetti, Elias
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
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel
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
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.
Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.
Cudworth, Ralph J.
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
Rembrandt (Harmenszoon van Rijn)
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its use-value.
Lyotard, Jean Francois
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu
We forge gradually our greatest instrument for understanding the world -- introspection. We discover that humanity may resemble us very considerably -- that the best way of knowing the inwardness of our neighbors is to know ourselves.
Lippmann, Walter
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
Lasch, Christopher
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan
