A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos

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

6.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
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

8.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

Kempis, Thomas

No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

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

14.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

15.
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

16.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

17.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

20.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

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

To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Lao-Tzu

23.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

26.
'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

27.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

28.
One-tenth of the folks run the world. One-tenth watch them run it, and the other eighty percent don't know what the hell's going on.
Simmons, Jake

29.
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb

30.
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

31.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas

32.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

33.
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

34.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

35.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

36.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

37.
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

38.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

39.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

40.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

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

43.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

44.
Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.
Buck, Pearl S.

45.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

46.
I find that a great part of the information I have, was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.
Adams, Franklin P.

47.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

48.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

49.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.

50.
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.
