The fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Knowledge, Learning
Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Knowledge, Order
The possession of full knowledge does away with the need of trusting, while complete absence of knowledge makes trust evidently impossible.
George Simmel | Knowledge

Lewis Carroll – Knowledge
Man is not weak; knowledge is more than equivalent to force.

We don’t know one-millionth of one percent about anything.
Thomas Alva Edison – Knowledge
Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second-hand from books or other artificial sources. The knowledge of that which is before us, or about us, which appeals to our experience, passions, and pursuits, to the bosom and businesses of men, is not learning. Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know.
