Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu

3.
One-tenth of the folks run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don't know what the hell's going on.
Simmons, Jake

4.
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

5.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

6.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

12.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

13.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

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

15.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

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

17.
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)

18.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

19.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

20.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

21.
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

22.
The conqueror and king in each one of us is the knower of truth. Let the knower awaken in us and drive the horses of the mind, emotions, and physical body on the pathway which that king has chosen.
Arundale, George S.

23.
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.

24.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

25.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

26.
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

27.
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''

28.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

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

30.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

31.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

32.
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.

33.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

34.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

35.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

36.
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
Lasch, Christopher

37.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

38.
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod

39.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

40.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

41.
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

42.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

43.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
How do you know so much about everything? was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant.
Abbott, John

47.
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

48.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

49.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

50.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern
