Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas

2.
Charles V. said that a man who knew four languages was worth four men; and Alexander the Great so valued learning, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge that, than his father Philip for giving him life.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

3.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

4.
I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

5.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American

6.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

7.
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

8.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

9.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

10.
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

11.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

12.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

13.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

14.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

15.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

16.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

17.
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

18.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

19.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

20.
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

21.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

22.
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.

23.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

27.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

28.
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

29.
What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that ain't so.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

30.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

31.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

32.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

33.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

34.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos

35.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

36.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

37.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

38.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

39.
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

40.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

41.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

42.
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats

43.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Enrico Fermi

44.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

45.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

46.
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

47.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

48.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

49.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

50.
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.
Twain, Mark
