Best Quotes about Knowledge

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

2.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

3.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

4.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

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

6.
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

7.
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord

8.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

9.
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

10.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

11.
Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.
Keller, Helen

12.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

13.
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.

14.
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

15.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

16.
We forge gradually our greatest instrument for understanding the world -- introspection. We discover that humanity may resemble us very considerably -- that the best way of knowing the inwardness of our neighbors is to know ourselves.
Lippmann, Walter

17.
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas

18.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

19.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

20.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

21.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

25.
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

26.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

27.
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)

28.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

29.
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

30.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

31.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

35.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

36.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

37.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

38.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

39.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

40.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

41.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

42.
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering

43.
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

44.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

45.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

46.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

47.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

48.
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

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

50.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
