- Kennedy, John F.
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

2.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

3.
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

4.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

8.
Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
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

10.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

11.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

12.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

13.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

14.
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

15.
The long unmeasured pulse of time moves everything. There is nothing hidden that it cannot bring to light, nothing once known that may not become unknown.
Sophocles

16.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

17.
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.

18.
We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.
Wheeler, John Archibald

19.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

20.
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

21.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

22.
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

23.
What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that ain't so.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

24.
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

25.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord

26.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

27.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

28.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

29.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

30.
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

31.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

32.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

33.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

35.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

36.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

37.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

38.
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

39.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

40.
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb

41.
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
Diderot, Denis

42.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

43.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

44.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

45.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

46.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

47.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

48.
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

49.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar

50.
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
