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

Best Quotes about Knowledge
It's a dangerous thing to think we know everything.
Kuehler, Jack
Some students drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
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
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment is the treasurer of the one who is wise.
Penn, William
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
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith
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
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
He knows so little and knows it so fluently.
Glasgow, Ellen
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
I wish I knew what I know now before.
Stewart, Rod
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.
Samuel Johnson
Many a man who has known himself at ten forgets himself utterly between ten and thirty.
Bowen, Catherine Drinker
Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)
To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
Lao-Tzu
Knowledge fills a large brain; it merely inflates a small one.
Many of us don't have to turn out the lights to be in the dark.
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
To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
Camus, Albert
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell
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
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
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh
When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.
Confucius
Knowledge becomes wisdom only after it has been put to practical use.
Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
Chesterfield, Lord
None of us is as smart as all of us.
Eric Schmidt
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
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
Ball, Lucille
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Kennedy, John F.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.
Margaret Fuller
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Drucker, Peter F.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin
No man knows less than the man who knows it all
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
Lao-tzu
In the advance of civilization, it is new knowledge which paves the way, and the pavement is eternal.
Whitney, W. R.
The less you know, the more you think you know, because you don't know you don't know.
Stevens, Ray
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris
I want, by understanding myself, to understand others. I want to be all that I am capable of becoming.
Mansfield, Katherine
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
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''
Knowledge is of two kinds: We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.
Johnson, Samuel
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts- the less you know the hotter you get.
Russell, Bertrand
Men can acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.
Proverb, Spanish
He who does not know one thing knows another
Proverb, Kenyan
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
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
