Best Quotes about Knowledge
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille
One-tenth of the folks run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don't know what the hell's going on.
Simmons, Jake
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
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
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.
We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.
Eric Schmidt
There's a theory, one I find persuasive, that the quest for knowledge is, at bottom, the search for the answer to the question: Where was I before I was born. In the beginning was what? Perhaps, in the beginning, there was a curious room, a room like this one, crammed with wonders; and now the room and all it contains are forbidden you, although it was made just for you, had been prepared for you since time began, and you will spend all your life trying to remember it.
Carter, Angela
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow
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
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony
The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practiced, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good. God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.
Charron, Pierre
It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little. We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work... in order to free their hold.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon
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.
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
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman
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
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord
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 ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh
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
Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.
Buck, Pearl S.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas
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
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon
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
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
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.
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
