Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

3.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

4.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

5.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

6.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

7.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

8.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

9.
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

10.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

14.
You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard Feynman

15.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
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)

17.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

21.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

22.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

23.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

24.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

25.
When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently.
Moustakas, Clark

26.
I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

27.
When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge -- one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of t
Wiesel, Elie

28.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

32.
I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.
Billings, Josh

33.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

34.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

35.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

36.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

37.
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.

38.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

39.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

40.
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

41.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

42.
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

43.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

44.
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Gide, Andre

45.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
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

49.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

50.
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American
