Motivational Quotes
Knowledge
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Best Quotes about Knowledge
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.
Eckhart, Meister
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb
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.
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
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace
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
We don't know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Edison, Thomas A.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere
It is disgraceful to live as a stranger in one's country, and be an alien in any matter that affects our welfare.
Manutius
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
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
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country!
Franklin, Benjamin
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert
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''
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos
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.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.
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 is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William
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.
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
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord
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
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
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
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan
To know yourself, see how others do, to know others look into your own heart.
Smiles, Sydney
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Zedong, Mao
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.
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
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu
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
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering
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)
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
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
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
