Best Quotes about Knowledge
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
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace.
Bhagavad Gita
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert
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
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
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe
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
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.
If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William
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
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos
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
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence
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
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph
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
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas
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.
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern
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
Every animal knows more than you do.
Proverb, Native American
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian
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)
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold
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
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack
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
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato
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
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.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen
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
