Knowledge

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.

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

2.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

3.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

4.
We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime.
Socrates

5.
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge -- that is everywhere.
Hesse, Hermann

6.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

7.
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas

8.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
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

10.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

14.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

15.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Knowledge like timber shouldn't be mush use till they are seasoned.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

21.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

22.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

23.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

24.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

25.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

26.
What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that ain't so.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

27.
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

28.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

29.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

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

31.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

32.
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

33.
Knowledge is the best eraser in the world for disharmony, distrust, despair, and the endless physical deficiencies of man.
Battista, Orlando A.

34.
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

35.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

36.
And all your future lies beneath your hat.
Oldham, John

37.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

38.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

42.
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.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

44.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

45.
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

46.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

47.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

48.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

49.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

50.
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
