Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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)

2.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

3.
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

4.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
Thoreau, Henry David

Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

8.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

10.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
Sterne, Laurence

11.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

12.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

13.
The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
Johnson, Samuel

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

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

16.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Socrates

17.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

18.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that.
Mill, John Stuart

20.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

21.
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

22.
I find that a great part of the information I have, was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.

Benchley, Robert

He who knows little quickly tells it.
Proverb, Italian

26.
Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
Back, Sudie

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

28.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

29.
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

30.
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

31.
When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding.
Proverb, Chinese

32.
Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.
Swinnock

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

Paige, Leroy ''Satchel''

40.
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

41.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

42.
Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.
Bristol, Claude M.

43.
If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

Eliot, George
