Knowledge

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

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray

2.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

3.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

4.
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William

5.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

10.
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

11.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. [John 8:32]
Bible

12.
Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by practice; love by love.
Szasz, Thomas

13.
He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.
Benjamin, Walter

14.
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

15.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

16.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

17.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

18.
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.

19.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

20.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

21.
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.

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

25.
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
Holt, John

26.
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony

27.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

28.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

29.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

30.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

31.
We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.
Wheeler, John Archibald

32.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

33.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

34.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

35.
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats

36.
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

37.
Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

38.
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

39.
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

40.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

41.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

42.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

43.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

44.
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
Lasch, Christopher

45.
Without wisdom, knowledge is either useless or destructive.

46.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil

48.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb

49.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

50.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh
