Great Knowledge Quotes

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

“If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.”

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.”

“Knowledge is recognizing what you know and what you don't.”

“Rare almost as great poets, rarer, perhaps, than veritable saints and martyrs; are consummate men of business. A man, to be excellent in this way, requires a great knowledge of character, with that exquisite tact which feels unerringly the right moment when to act. A discreet rapidity must pervade all the movements of his thought and action. He must be singularly free from vanity, and is generally found to be an enthusiast who has the art to conceal his enthusiasm.”

“No one can take it away from you.”

“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”

“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.”

“I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.”

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.”

“I remember once visiting an outdoor exhibition of sculpture in Arnhem, the Netherlands. One of the artists had placed this notice at the base of a majestic beech: "Statues are hewn by fools like me: only God could make this tree." The Taoists looked at the inside of the tree. They saw God present, not as the super-sculptor, but as the primal force from which the tree drew its being and its specific form. Becoming aware of this divine origin was for them "great knowledge," to be distinguished from the "small knowledge" of our petty, every-day existence.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”
