Knowledge Quotes
-
The greatest danger in art is too much knowledge.
Andre Derain
-
Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.
Edward Steichen
-
There is about him something that seems to soothe and hypnotize. To the best of my knowledge, he has never encountered a charging rhinoceros, but should this contingency occur, I have no doubt that the animal, meeting his eye, would check itself in mid-stride, roll over and lie purring with its legs in the air.
P. G. Wodehouse
-
When you set out on your journey to Ithaca, pray that the road is long, full of adventure, full of knowledge.
C.P. Cavafy
-
We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living. If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, brethren! Be careful, teachers!
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Norm MacDonald

Almost every golden age of geo-cultural domains has been characterised by good governance, exchanges, borrowing, innovation and the adaptation of earlier contributions to forms of knowledge, and rationalism.
Nayef Al-Rodhan
-
At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labour becomes abridged.
Charles Babbage
-
The best part of writing is not the communication of knowledge to other people, but the acquisition and synthesizing of knowledge for oneself.
Ta-Nehisi Coates
-
Science is not marginal. Like art, it is a universal possession of humanity, and scientific knowledge has become a vital part of our species' repertory. It comprises what we know of the material world with reasonable certainty. . . . Thanks to science and technology, access to factual information of all kinds is rising exponentially.
E. O. Wilson
-
Those were men in whom great strength and knowledge served the will to evil and fed upon it. Whether the wizardry that serves a better end may always prove the stronger, we do not know. We hope.
Ursula K. Le Guin
-
At the end of a long campaign, I believe I know the people of our state as well as anyone. Based on this knowledge of Georgians North and South, Rural and Urban, liberal and conservative, I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over.
Jimmy Carter
-
Knowledge comes from learning. Wisdom comes from living.
Anthony Douglas Williams
-
The evil into which these philosophers have fallen is greater than that from which they sought to escape, because they refuse to say that God neglects or forgets a thing, and yet they maintain that His knowledge is imperfect, that He is ignorant of what is going on here on earth, that He does not perceive it.
Maimonides
-
378. Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
-
His knowledge is not like ours, which has three tenses; present, past, and future. God's knowledge has no change or variation.
Saint Augustine
-
When asked whether or not we are Marxists, our position is the same as that of a physicist or a biologist when asked if he is a 'Newtonian,' or if he is a 'Pasteurian'. There are truths so evident, so much a part of people's knowledge, that it is now useless to discuss them.
Che Guevara
