Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
'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

3.
Own more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest.
Shakespeare, William

4.
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

5.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

6.
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

7.
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

8.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

9.
Knowledge is ancient error reflecting on its youth.
Picabia, Francis

10.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

11.
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats

12.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

13.
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker

14.
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow

15.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.

16.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

17.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

18.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

19.
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

20.
Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

21.
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

22.
It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.
Channing, William Ellery

23.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

24.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

25.
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

26.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson

27.
It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, Know thyself, and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.
Eliot, George

28.
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

29.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert

30.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

31.
All knowledge is ambiguous.
Habgood, J. S.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

36.
Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles

37.
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon

38.
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.

39.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Knowledge, like religion, must be experienced in order to be known.
Whipple, Edwin P.

43.
Knowledge of ourselves teaches us whence we come, where we are and whither we are going. We come from God and we are in exile; and it is because our potency of affection lends towards God that we are aware of this state of exile.
Ruysbroeck, Jan Van

44.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

45.
Who knows most believes least.
Proverb

46.
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

47.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord

48.
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan

49.
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.
Bristol, Claude M.

50.
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
