Best Quotes about Knowledge
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose
It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little. We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work... in order to free their hold.
Richards, Mary Caroline
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Gibran, Kahlil
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.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese
Sin, guilt, neurosis --they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Miller, Henry
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
Know yourself, master yourself, conquest of self is most gratifying.
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Confucius
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius
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.
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)
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
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
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats
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
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
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
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
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
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.
Diderot, Denis
You never know yourself till you know more than your body.
Traherne, Thomas
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.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel
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.
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
