Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

2.
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country!
Franklin, Benjamin

3.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

4.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

5.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

6.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

7.
How do you know so much about everything? was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant.
Abbott, John

8.
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)

9.
Become aware of internal, subjective, sub-verbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Maslow, Abraham H.

10.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

11.
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Zedong, Mao

12.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

13.
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris

14.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

15.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

16.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

17.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

18.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

19.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

21.
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

22.
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe

23.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

24.
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

25.
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
Fischer, Martin H.

26.
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

27.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

28.
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.

29.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

30.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

31.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

32.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

33.
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

34.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

35.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

36.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

37.
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

38.
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

Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

40.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

41.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas

42.
To know yourself, see how others do, to know others look into your own heart.
Smiles, Sydney

43.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

44.
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

45.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

46.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

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

49.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

50.
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas
