Best Quotes about Knowledge
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
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
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates
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
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie
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
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts- the less you know the hotter you get.
Russell, Bertrand
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
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts
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
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim
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
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop
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
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
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
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.
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.
Ruysbroeck, Jan Van
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus
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
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William
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
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
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
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 becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.
I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
