Knowledge

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

Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
You can't know too much, but you can say too much.
Coolidge, Calvin

2.
He knows the universe and does not know himself.
La Fontaine, Jean De

3.
Oh how fine it is to know a thing or two!
Moliere

4.
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.

5.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

6.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

7.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

8.
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
Drucker, Peter F.

9.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

10.
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

11.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

12.
When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn't much room at the edge -- one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of t
Wiesel, Elie

13.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

14.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

15.
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.
Lorenz, Konrad

16.
It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing.
Stoppard, Tom

17.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

18.
The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given -- all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.
Maitland, Frederic William

19.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

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

21.
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.

22.
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

23.
He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.
Colton, Charles Caleb

24.
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Franklin, Benjamin

25.
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb

26.
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.

27.
Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

28.
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''

29.
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

30.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.

34.
I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Richard Feynman

35.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl

36.
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

37.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu

38.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

42.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart

43.
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen

44.
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

45.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Young, Brigham

46.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

47.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

48.
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

49.
His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
J. K. Rowling

50.
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
