Knowledge

Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
- Bright, Grant M.
Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

3.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

4.
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

5.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

6.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

7.
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

8.
Knowledge is power. Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.
Keller, Helen

9.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

10.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

11.
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.
Twain, Mark

12.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

13.
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

14.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

16.
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

17.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

18.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart

19.
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

20.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

21.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

23.
To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Confucius

24.
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

25.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

26.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

27.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
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

31.
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil

32.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

33.
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

34.
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

35.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

36.
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb

37.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

38.
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.

39.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Eckhart, Meister

40.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

41.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

42.
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

43.
Search not to find things too deeply hid; Nor try to know things whose knowledge is forbid.
Denham, Sir John

44.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

45.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Young, Brigham

46.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.
Eric Schmidt

50.
Knowledge, humbles a great person, astonishes the common, and puffs up the small.
Saying
