Best Quotes about Knowledge
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
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
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
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
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
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Young, Brigham
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
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.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon
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
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
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
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
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard Feynman
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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)
I find that a great part of the information I have, was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
Adams, Franklin P.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
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
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
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
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
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country!
Franklin, Benjamin
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
And all your future lies beneath your hat.
Oldham, John
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all.
Baruch, Bernard M.
