Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
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

2.
There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors.
Morrison, Jim

3.
'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

4.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

5.
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

6.
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

7.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

8.
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

9.
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

10.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

11.
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Seldom if ever was knowledge given to keep, but always to impart. The grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.
Hall, Bishop

15.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace

16.
Knowledge is the best eraser in the world for disharmony, distrust, despair, and the endless physical deficiencies of man.
Battista, Orlando A.

17.
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''

18.
Boys, I may not know much, but I know chicken shit from chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

19.
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine

20.
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.

21.
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.

22.
Know thyself. Nothing in excess. The Self is required to balance the Self.
Ralph, Blum

23.
The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.
Twain, Mark

24.
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

25.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

26.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

27.
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

28.
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

29.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

30.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller

31.
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.
Johnson, Samuel

32.
Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up.
Buck, Pearl S.

33.
Those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.
Mueller, Robert K.

34.
Knowledge is power, but enthusiasm pulls the switch.
Ball, Ivern

35.
I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
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

37.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

38.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
Rimbaud, Arthur

39.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Bradley, Francis H.

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

42.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt

43.
You can live a lifetime and at the end, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Markham, Beryl

44.
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

45.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates

46.
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish

47.
There is a period of life when we swallow knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.
Bailey, Pearl

48.
The greater the knowledge, the greater the doubt.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
Far better is it to know everything of a little than a little of everything.
Pickering

50.
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
