Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

4.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

5.
I know myself as a human entity; the scene, so to speak, or thoughts are affection; and am sensible of certain doubleness by which I can stand as remote from myself as from another. However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is no part of me, but spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you.
Thoreau, Henry David

6.
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.

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

The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen.
Arundale, George S.

12.
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.

13.
It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, Know thyself, and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.
Eliot, George

14.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

15.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

16.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

17.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

18.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

19.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.

Bergethon, R. K.

21.
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
Nerval, Gerard De

All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

23.

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

27.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

28.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

29.
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.

30.
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

31.
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
Lasch, Christopher

32.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

34.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.

Robert, Cavett

36.
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

Charron, Pierre

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

42.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

43.
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.

Never by reflection, but only by doing is self-knowledge possible to one.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Canetti, Elias

48.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

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.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil
