Knowledge Quotes

What is all our knowledge worth? We do not even know what the weather will be tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Of true knowledge at any time, a good part is merely convenient, necessary indeed to the worker, but not to an understanding of his subject: One can judge a building without knowing where to buy the bricks; one can understand a violin sonata without knowing how to score for the instrument. The work may in fact be better understood without a knowledge of the details of its manufacture, of attention to these tends to distract from meaning and effect Picture Quote #1

Every branch of knowledge which a good man possesses, he may apply to some good purpose Picture Quote #1

Knowledge is like underwear. It is useful to have it, but not necessary to show it off Picture Quote #1

Knowledge is power. Unfortunate dupes of this saying will keep on creating, ambitiously, till they have stunned their native initiative and made their thoughts weak Picture Quote #1

We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too Picture Quote #1

A real medicine can only exist when it penetrates into a knowledge which embraces the human being in respect to body, soul and spirit Picture Quote #1

There’s an awful lot of misunderstanding here about what being poor actually means. I don’t think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there’s some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything. It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly Picture Quote #1

We bequeath to you, the next generation, our knowledge but also our problems. While we still live, let us join hands, hearts and minds to work together for their solution so that your world will be better than ours and the world of your children even better Picture Quote #1

If we are to have faith that mankind will survive and thrive on the face of the earth, we must believe that each succeeding generation will be wiser than its progenitors. We transmit to you, the next generation, the total sum of our knowledge. Yours is the responsibility to use it, add to it, and transmit it to your children Picture Quote #1

Upon the progress of knowledge the whole progress of the human race is immediately dependent: he who retards that, hinders this also Picture Quote #1

There are a multitude of allied branches of knowledge connected with mans condition; the relation of these to political economy is analogous to the connexion of mechanics, astronomy, optics, sound, heat, and every other branch more or less of physical science, with pure mathematics Picture Quote #1

According to the technical language of old writers, a thing and its qualities are described as subject and attributes; and thus a man’s faculties and acts are attributes of which he is the subject. The mind is the subject in which ideas inhere. Moreover, the man’s faculties and acts are employed upon external objects; and from objects all his sensations arise. Hence the part of a man’s knowledge which belongs to his own mind, is subjective: that which flows in upon him from the world external to him, is objective Picture Quote #1

A modern theory of knowledge which takes account of the relational as distinct from the merely relative character of all historical knowledge must start with the assumption that there are spheres of thought in which it is impossible to conceive of absolute truth existing independently of the values and position of the subject and unrelated to the social context Picture Quote #1

Knowledge about the process being modeled starts fairly low, then increases as understanding is obtained and tapers off to a high value at the end Picture Quote #1

I think of the need for more wisdom in the world, to deal with the knowledge that we have. At one time we had wisdom, but little knowledge. Now we have a great deal of knowledge, but do we have enough wisdom to deal with that knowledge? Picture Quote #1

It has been said that the essence of teaching is causing another to know. It may similarly be said that the essence of training is causing another to do. Teaching gives knowledge. Training gives skill. Teaching fills the mind. Training shapes the habits. Teaching brings to the child that which he did not have before. Training enables a child to make use of that which is already his possession Picture Quote #1

Creative work and critical thought, which produces new knowledge, can’t be conditioned; indeed, conditioning prevents these things from ever happening Picture Quote #1

More important than talent, strength, or knowledge is the ability to laugh at yourself and enjoy the pursuit of your dreams Picture Quote #1

Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love Picture Quote #1

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am: my faith, my knowledge, my being Picture Quote #1

Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What’s left is magic. And it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

For the scientific acquisition of knowledge is almost as tedious as the routine acquisition of wealth Picture Quote #1

Knowledge passes from dance teacher into the student through the process of mane, which is often translated as imitation, but learning to dance is more a process of total identification than of simple copying. We repeat the movements of our teachers until we can duplicate them exactly, until, in a sense, we have absorbed the teacher’s mastery into ourselves. Artistic technique must be fully integrated into the cells of our bodies if we are to use it to express what is in our hearts, and this takes many years of practice Picture Quote #1

Rid your body of its impurities, let your speech be true and sweet, feel friendship for the world, and with humility seek wealth and knowledge Picture Quote #1

Each new development starts from something else. It does not come out of a blue sky. You make use of that which has already entered the mind... That is the real reason for accumulating knowledge Picture Quote #1

Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment exactly proportional to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it better Picture Quote #1

What we call knowledge does not and cannot have the purpose of producing representations of an independent reality, but instead has an adaptive function Picture Quote #1

Those who are enslaved to their sects are not merely devoid of all sound knowledge, but they will not even stop to learn! Picture Quote #1

The most important knowledge teachers need to do good work is a knowledge of how students are experiencing learning and perceiving their teacher’s actions Picture Quote #1
