Motivational Quotes
Knowledge
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.
Best Quotes about Knowledge
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace
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
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
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William
What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that ain't so.
Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.
We forge gradually our greatest instrument for understanding the world -- introspection. We discover that humanity may resemble us very considerably -- that the best way of knowing the inwardness of our neighbors is to know ourselves.
Lippmann, Walter
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus
Charles V. said that a man who knew four languages was worth four men; and Alexander the Great so valued learning, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge that, than his father Philip for giving him life.
Macaulay, Thomas B.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
To despise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it.
Colton, Charles Caleb
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude
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.
He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian
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
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim
The mark of a well educated person is not necessarily in knowing all the answers, but in knowing where to find them.
Everett, Douglas
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.
Robbins, Anthony
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.
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
An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
Michener, James A.
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
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.
Locke, John
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
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas
During the last century, and part of the one before, it was widely held that there was an unreconcilable conflict between knowledge and belief.
Einstein, Albert
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
Haskins, Caryl
Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.
Chesterfield, Lord
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.
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
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod
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.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.
