Knowledge

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
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

2.
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
Samuel Johnson

3.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

4.
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

5.
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

6.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

7.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

8.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

9.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

10.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

11.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

12.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

13.
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

14.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

15.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl

16.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

17.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

18.
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)

19.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius

20.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

21.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.
Locke, John

25.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
Colton, Charles Caleb

26.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

27.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

28.
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

29.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace.
Bhagavad Gita

30.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Camus, Albert

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.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

33.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

37.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

38.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

39.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

40.
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

41.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

42.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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.

44.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

45.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

46.
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

47.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Eckhart, Meister

48.
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

49.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

50.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert
