Knowledge

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.

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb

2.
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

3.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

4.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

5.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

6.
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

7.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

8.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

9.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

10.
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe

11.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

12.
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

13.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

14.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

21.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

22.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

23.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

24.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

25.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

26.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

27.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

28.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

29.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

30.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

31.
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.

32.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

33.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

34.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

35.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

36.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

37.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

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

39.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

40.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

41.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

42.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

43.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
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

45.
To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

A wise man, when asked how he had learned so much about everything, replied: By never being ashamed or afraid to ask questions about anything of which I was ignorant.

47.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

48.
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

49.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

50.
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Zedong, Mao
