Knowledge

We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime.
- Socrates

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

2.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

3.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

4.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

5.
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

6.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

7.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

8.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

9.
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)

10.
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

11.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

12.
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

13.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

14.
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius

15.
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

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

17.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

18.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

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

20.
If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

21.
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

22.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

23.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
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

25.
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
Lorenz, Konrad

26.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

27.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

28.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

29.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

30.
The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

34.
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.

35.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

36.
Many people think of knowledge as money, They would like knowledge, but do not want to face the perseverance and self-denial that goes into the acquisition of it.
Morely, John

37.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

38.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
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

40.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

41.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

42.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

43.
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

44.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

45.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

46.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

47.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

48.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

49.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

50.
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
