Knowledge Quotes

It is well worth the efforts of a lifetime to have attained knowledge which justifies an attack on the root of all evil... which asserts that because forms of evil have always existed in society, therefore they must always exist Picture Quote #1

Some knowledge and some song and some beauty must be kept for those days before the world again plunges into darkness Picture Quote #1

All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking Picture Quote #1

At the age of 19, you always think you are prepared for everything and you think you have the knowledge of what?s coming ahead Picture Quote #1

Man cannot live without some knowledge of the purpose of life. If he can find no purpose in life he creates one in the inevitability of death Picture Quote #1

Wine makes a man better pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others. Sometimes it does. But the danger is, that while a man grows better pleased with himself, he may be growing less pleasing to others. Wine gives a man nothing. It neither gives him knowledge nor wit; it only animates a man, and enables him to bring out what a dread of the company has presented Picture Quote #1

We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine Picture Quote #1

Gradualness, gradualness, and gradualness. From the very beginning of your work, school yourself to severe gradualness in the accumulation of knowledge Picture Quote #1

There is a way in which the collective knowledge of mankind expresses itself, for the finite individual, through mere daily living... a way in which life itself is sheer knowing Picture Quote #1

We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction Picture Quote #1

The most important seed I can sow in this life is my children, and the love and knowledge that I can bestow upon them and the help I can give them Picture Quote #1

Success is transient, evanescent. The real passion lies in the poignant acquisition of knowledge about all the shading and subtleties of the creative secrets Picture Quote #1

Obedience is the gateway through which knowledge, yes, and love, too, enter the mind of the child Picture Quote #1

Travel gives a character of experience to our knowledge, and brings the figures on the tablet of memory into strong relief Picture Quote #1

Essentialists hope that when students leave school, they will possess not only basic skills and an extensive body of knowledge, but also disciplined, practical minds, capable of applying schoolhouse lessons in the real world Picture Quote #1

Not many appreciate the ultimate power and potential usefulness of basic knowledge accumulated by obscure, unseen investigators who, in a lifetime of intensive study, may never see any practical use for their findings but who go on seeking answers to the unknown without thought of financial or practical gain Picture Quote #1

The media no longer ask those who know something to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it Picture Quote #1

Perhaps we’re too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation of reward or punishment, safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you Picture Quote #1

Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius Picture Quote #1

I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with Picture Quote #1

Human beings of all societies in all periods of history believe that their ideas on the nature of the real world are the most secure, and that their ideas on religion, ethics and justice are the most enlightened. Like us, they think that final knowledge is at last within reach. Like us, they pity the people in earlier ages for not knowing the true facts. Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason Picture Quote #1

Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others Picture Quote #1

Authority is not power; that’s coercion. Authority is not knowledge; that’s persuasion, or seduction. Authority is simply that the author has the right to make a statement and to be heard Picture Quote #1

The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism Picture Quote #1

When a person acts without knowledge of what he thinks, feels, needs or wants, he does not yet have the option of choosing to act differently Picture Quote #1

Steadfastness is a noble quality, but unguided by knowledge or humility, it becomes rashness, or obstinacy Picture Quote #1

There was never a nation that became great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help Picture Quote #1

Knowledge is the treasure of the mind, but discretion is the key to it, without which it is useless. The practical part of wisdom is the best Picture Quote #1

There are two distinct sorts of what we call bashfulness; this, the awkwardness of a booby, which a few steps into the world will convert into the pertness of a coxcomb; that, a consciousness, which the most delicate feelings produce, and the most extensive knowledge cannot always remove Picture Quote #1

Besides the pleasure derived from acquired knowledge, there lurks in the mind of man, and tinged with a shade of sadness, an unsatisfactory longing for something beyond the present, a striving towards regions yet unknown and unopened Picture Quote #1
