Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

2.
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge -- that is everywhere.
Hesse, Hermann

3.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Farrar, Austin

4.
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

5.
Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Bright, Grant M.

6.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

7.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

8.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

9.
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

10.
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

11.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

12.
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack

13.
Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.
Herder, Johann Gottfried Von

14.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

15.
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

16.
To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli

17.
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

18.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

19.
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
Samuel Johnson

20.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

21.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
'Tis not need we know our every thought or see the work shop where each mask is wrought wherefrom we view the world of box and pit, careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit and serve our jape's turn for a night or two.
Pound, Ezra

23.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

24.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. [John 8:32]
Bible

25.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.
Einstein, Albert

26.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

27.
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

28.
It is not good to know more unless we do more with what we already know.
Bergethon, R. K.

29.
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

30.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

31.
When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently.
Moustakas, Clark

32.
An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Kempis, Thomas

33.
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

34.
Many people think of knowledge as money, They would like knowledge, but do not want to face the perseverance and self-denial that goes into the acquisition of it.
Morely, John

35.
No matter what happens, there's always somebody who knew it would.
Starr, Lonny

36.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert

37.
Everything has been said yet few have taken advantage of it. Since all our knowledge is essentially banal, it can only be of value to minds that are not.
Vaneigem, Raoul

38.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

39.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

40.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Eckhart, Meister

41.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

42.
Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace.
Bhagavad Gita

46.
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

47.
You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. I don't think there's anything man wasn't meant to know. There are just some stupid things that people shouldn't do.
Cronenberg, David

48.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

49.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

50.
Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
Gide, Andre
