The Unknown is not the Unknowable; it need not remain the unknown for us, unless we choose ignorance or persist in our first limitations. For to all things that are not unknowable, all things in the universe, there correspond in that universe faculties which can take cognisance of them, and in man, the microcosm, these faculties are always existent and at a certain stage capable of development. We may choose not to develop them; where they are partially developed, we may discourage and impose on them a kind of atrophy. But, fundamentally all possible knowledge is knowledge within the power of humanity. - Sri Aurobindo
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn. - Bertolt Brecht
The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert
There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge… observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. - Denis Diderot
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge. - Bertrand Russell
There's so much knowledge to be had that specialists cling to their specialties as a shield against having to know anything about anything else. They avoid being drowned. - Isaac Asimov
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance. - Terry Pratchett
This is the bitterest pain among men, to have much knowledge but no power. - Herodotus
To furnish the means of acquiring knowledge is ... the greatest benefit that can be conferred upon mankind. It prolongs life itself and enlarges the sphere of existence. - John Quincy Adams
To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. - Socrates
To receive instruction and knowledge is as natural as to receive the light of the sun, if a man opens his eyes. - Benjamin Whichcote
Ultimately you want to have the entire world's knowledge connected directly to your mind. - Sergey Brin
Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds – justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. - Anne Rice
We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom. - Michel de Montaigne
We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know. - Albert Einstein
We ought to be ten times as hungry for knowledge as for food for the body. - Henry Ward Beecher
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. - George Bernard Shaw
When the fields of human knowledge are so various and so vast as is the case in our day, the utmost that can be done by single minds not of encyclopedic range, is to master one subject or branch of subject as thoroughly as possible, and to rest content with knowing that others are working in regions where neither time nor strength will permit us to enter. - Henry Parry Liddon
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
Wonder is the desire of knowledge. - Thomas Aquinas
You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out completely dry. Most people do. - Norman Juster
