Knowledge

Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
- Ruskin, John
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod

2.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

3.
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

4.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

5.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

6.
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

7.
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

8.
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

9.
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.

10.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

11.
During the last century, and part of the one before, it was widely held that there was an unreconcilable conflict between knowledge and belief.
Einstein, Albert

12.
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

13.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

14.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
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

16.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

17.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

18.
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

19.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

20.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

21.
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

22.
His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
J. K. Rowling

23.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

24.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius

25.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

29.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

30.
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra

31.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

32.
Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
Knowledge is and will be produced in order to be sold, it is and will be consumed in order to be valorized in a new production: in both cases, the goal is exchange. Knowledge ceases to be an end in itself, it loses its use-value.
Lyotard, Jean Francois

36.
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
Cronenberg, David

37.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl

38.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

39.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

40.
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

41.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

42.
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Confucius

43.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

44.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

45.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

46.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

47.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas

48.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Enrico Fermi

49.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

50.
It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little. We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work... in order to free their hold.
Richards, Mary Caroline
