Knowledge is a word which has so many meanings and varies from people to people. But, whatever the extent of knowledge someone has, it is always not enough in this rapidely changing world. Every little thing that we experience in our daily life, contributes to increasing our knowledge. We are reading something in an old newspaper, still we are gaining something. In every little thing or person, there is something to learn!
Let’s read and understand some of the inspirational words of some great people, all centered around the word Knowledge
1) Knowledge is power - by Hobbes
2) Knowledge is the only instrument of production that is not subject to diminishing returns - by J.M Clark
3) That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone, is true knowledge; all else is only a negation of knowledge - by Sri Ramakrishna
4) The law of nature is that a certain quantity of work is necessary to product a certain quantity of good of any kind, whatever. If you want knowledge, you must toil for it - by John Ruskin
5) We broaden our field of knowledge and reach generalisations of considerable magnitude as the result of numerous small thoughts brought together in the mind and carefully considered - by Alexander G.Bell
6) Knowledge is of two kinds. We know one subject ourselves or we know where we can get information upon it. - by Dr. Johnson
7) knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers - by Tennyson
Science is organised knowledge - by Herbert Spencer
9) Knowledge is proud that he has learned, wisdom is humble that he knows no more - by Cowper

Hi my friend Wakish,
This is cool collection. Let me share one more:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” by Albert Einstein.
I know here importance is given to imagination but knowledge is equal important and I like this quote very much.
Hey Jirel..
Thanks for the wonderful quote
Cheers!

Hi dear Wakish,
Knowledge proves we can either love or muse over the love. I am happy for my ‘Wow!’ came out of itself at a moment I saw you among people who visited my blog Candleday.
There are lots of still unknown to me words… that’s sad, but the knowledge comforts - I can improve on my English.
Wow, that’s great indeed. However, what does it mean in the concrete?
The knowledge may be gained, but just in case there is Wonder that welcomes all who hear the silence on a board of the ship of the Gratitude.
You are welcomed to my blog Captains bridge. The artwork on http://www.captains-bridge.blogspot.com are eagerly looking for you. Thank you once again
Hey Tomas.. Nice to see you again
Yeah I have been to your blog, but I figured that I had to signup to make a comment.. But I will make an account soon, though I would advice you to make your comment option more accessible to your readers. Making a reader register to comment is not always encouraging for them
I will try to answer your question: “what does it mean in the concrete?”;
What I wanted to express in this article is that knowledge is something which is acquired, nourished and understood differently by different people. Most of the things you do everyday, does contribute to it in a cerain sense..
In the end, those lists of quotes shows that even the big guys, came up with different meanings and perception about knowledge. But they will all converge to one end product (if properly shaped) which is “wisdom”..
I don’t know if I have rightly answered to your question, but let me know if you meant something else..
Best Wishes,
- Wakish -
