Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
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

3.
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.

4.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

5.
One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

6.
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts- the less you know the hotter you get.
Russell, Bertrand

7.
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

8.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

9.
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.

10.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

11.
To know the right means of getting something done is virtually to have done it.
Caine, Mark

12.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

13.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

14.
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

15.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

16.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

17.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
Knowledge, humbles a great person, astonishes the common, and puffs up the small.
Saying

19.
We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
Roger, Rutherford D.

20.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

21.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

22.
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas

23.
The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given -- all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.
Maitland, Frederic William

24.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

25.
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius

26.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

27.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

28.
Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.
Edgar Allan Poe

29.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

33.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

34.
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

35.
To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

36.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

37.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

38.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

39.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

40.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

41.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

42.
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

43.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

44.
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

45.
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
Nerval, Gerard De

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

49.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

50.
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.
