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

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

2.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

3.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart

4.
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.

5.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

6.
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
Rembrandt (Harmenszoon van Rijn)

7.
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)

8.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

9.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

10.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

11.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

12.
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

13.
If people can be educated to see the lowly side of their own natures, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and to love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more tolerance towards oneself can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
Jung, Carl

14.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

15.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

16.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

17.
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.

18.
Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
Vaneigem, Raoul

19.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

20.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
Gurdjieff, George

21.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

22.
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

23.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

24.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

25.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

26.
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.

27.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

28.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

29.
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats

30.
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

31.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
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

33.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

34.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

35.
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.

36.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

37.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

38.
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

39.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

40.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

41.
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl

42.
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

43.
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.

44.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

45.
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

46.
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

48.
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

49.
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all.
Baruch, Bernard M.

50.
A wise man, when asked how he had learned so much about everything, replied: By never being ashamed or afraid to ask questions about anything of which I was ignorant.
