Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
And all your future lies beneath your hat.
Oldham, John

3.
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

4.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

8.
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

9.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

10.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Enrico Fermi

11.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert

12.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

13.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

14.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

15.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

16.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

17.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

18.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

19.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

20.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

21.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

22.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

23.
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering

24.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

25.
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

26.
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

27.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

28.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

29.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

30.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
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

32.
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.
Eckhart, Meister

33.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

34.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

35.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

36.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

37.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

38.
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

39.
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

40.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

41.
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry

42.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

43.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.
Keller, Helen

45.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord

46.
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Zedong, Mao

47.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

48.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

49.
The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen.
Arundale, George S.

50.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb
