Knowledge

Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.

- Johnson, Lyndon B.

Best Quotes about Knowledge

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

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

Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.

Horace

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

Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.

Fuller, Thomas

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

Socrates

Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.

Swinnock

Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.

Smiles, Samuel

10.

All men by nature desire knowledge.

Aristotle

11.

When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.

Proverb, Chinese

12.

Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.

Rimbaud, Arthur

13.

He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.

Colton, Charles Caleb

14.

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.

15.

Who knows most believes least.

Proverb

16.

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.

17.

Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.

Bristol, Claude M.

18.

I wish I knew what I know now before.

Stewart, Rod

19.

Know-how will surpass guess-how.

20.

To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.

Brown, Francis Yeats

21.

Knowledge always demands increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but will afterwards always propagate itself.

Johnson, Samuel

22.

He who knows little quickly tells it.

Proverb, Italian

23.

Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.

Ruskin, John

24.

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

25.

One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.

Bristol, Claude M.

26.

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

Epictetus

27.

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

28.

All knowledge is ambiguous.

Habgood, J. S.

29.

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

30.

An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.

Kempis, Thomas

31.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

Schopenhauer, Arthur

32.

I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.

Billings, Josh

33.

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.

34.

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

Billings, Josh

35.

Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.

Fischer, Martin H.

36.

The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.

Milton, John

37.

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.

Chesterfield, Lord

38.

It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.

Bergethon, R. K.

39.

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

Robbins, Anthony

40.

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.

Lowell, James Russell

41.

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

42.

Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.

Cowper, William

43.

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)

44.

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

Samuel Johnson

45.

Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.

Szasz, Thomas

46.

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

Morrison, Jim

47.
