Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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)

2.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

3.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

4.
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.

5.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

6.
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

7.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

8.
When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge -- one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of t
Wiesel, Elie

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

13.
To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.
Catton, Bruce

14.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.

15.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Farrar, Austin

16.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

17.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

20.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar

21.
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

22.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

23.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

24.
Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.
Bristol, Claude M.

25.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

26.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

27.
Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
Eliot, George

28.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius

29.
When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently.
Moustakas, Clark

30.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

34.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

35.
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

36.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

37.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

38.
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

39.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

40.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

41.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

42.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

43.
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

44.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu

45.
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

46.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

47.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

48.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

49.
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

50.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.
