Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

2.
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

3.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
Gurdjieff, George

6.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

10.
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
Holt, John

11.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

12.
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

13.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

14.
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

15.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

16.
'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

17.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

18.
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

19.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

20.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

21.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

22.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

23.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

24.
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

25.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

26.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

27.
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

28.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

29.
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

30.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

31.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

32.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

33.
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

34.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

35.
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

36.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

37.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

38.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

39.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

40.
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

41.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

42.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

43.
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.

44.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

45.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

46.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

47.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

49.
Knowledge always demands increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but will afterwards always propagate itself.
Johnson, Samuel

50.
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
