Knowledge Quotes
-
Whoever says that a man can live the Christian life, while at the same time successfully participating in the present order of things, is either profound in the lack of knowledge, or else he deliberately lies.
George Davis Herron
-
Faith is not to be contrasted with knowledge: faith (at least in paradigmatic instances) is knowledge, knowledge of a certain special kind.
Alvin Plantinga
-
Money for knowledge has us stumped for a while. Then we decide it depends, quite simply, upon what the knowledge is used for. If it’s knowledge, say, which gives us a new manufacturing process, something that helps turn inventory into throughput, then the knowledge is operational expense. If we intend to sell the knowledge, as in the case of a patent or a technology license, then it’s inventory. But if the knowledge pertains to a product which UniCo itself will build, it’s like a machine—an investment to make money which will depreciate in value as time goes on. And, again, the investment that can be sold is inventory; the depreciation is operational expense.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt
-
We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge-and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves- how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Perfect knowledge comes only when you see the world in yourself, just as he who awakes from the dream then knows he saw his dream-world with its suns and stars in himself.
V. S. Subramanya Iyer
-
Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.
Ben Goldacre
-
Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
-
All difficulties are easy when they are known.
William Shakespeare
-
General knowledge may have to be slight or even amateurish knowledge, but it is none the less useful, and we discourage it at our peril.
C. V. Wedgwood
-
Nowness is the essence of meditation. Whatever one does, whatever one tries to practice, is trying to see what is here and now. One becomes aware of the present moment through such means as concentrating on the breathing. This is based on developing the knowledge of nowness, for each respiration is unique. It is an expression of now.
Chogyam Trungpa
-
All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge from particular points of view.
Max Weber
-
But I still couldn't quite believe in personal life after death. I preferred to think of our psychic experiences as emphasizing, instead, the unknown abilities of our present consciousness. 'The Seth material could be coming from some deep inner source, an intuitive bank of inner knowledge available to everyone if they only look for it,' I said.
Jane Roberts
