Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
We own almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.
Colton, Charles Caleb

4.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

5.
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

6.
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

7.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

8.
Man knows more than he understands.
Adler, Alfred

9.
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

10.
A knowledge of men is the prime secret of business success.
Mills, Darius Ogden

11.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

12.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.

13.
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel

14.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

16.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all

17.
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

18.
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

19.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

20.
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

21.
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering

22.
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

23.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; Wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
Cowper, William

27.
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

28.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

29.
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
Castaneda, Carlos

30.
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.

31.
It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.
Proverb, Persian

32.
Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

33.
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

34.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

35.
No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
Gibran, Kahlil

36.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

37.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

38.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

39.
Each department of knowledge passes through three stages. The theoretic stage; the theological stage and the metaphysical or abstract stage.
Comte, Auguste

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

43.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

44.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

45.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

46.
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

47.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

48.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

49.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
Terence

50.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar
