Knowledge

Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
- Vaneigem, Raoul
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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.

2.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

3.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

4.
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

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

7.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

8.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

9.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

10.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

11.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

12.
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.
Canetti, Elias

13.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

14.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

15.
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

16.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

17.
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.

18.
I find that a great part of the information I have, was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
Adams, Franklin P.

19.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

20.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

21.
Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
Vaneigem, Raoul

22.
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

23.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

25.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

26.
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

27.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

28.
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

29.
He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.
Benjamin, Walter

30.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

31.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

32.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

33.
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

34.
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

35.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

36.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

37.
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.

38.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

39.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

50.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.
