Knowledge
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul. ~Arnold Bennett


A true dialogue is never the exchange of readily available knowledge, but the active organization of knowledge which was not in the world before. ~Erich Jantsch


The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. ~Frank Herbert


The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance it is the illusion of knowledge. ~Daniel J Boorstin


The branching tree-structures of bureaucracies are designed to centralize the intelligence of the organization, but they are not capable of maximizing it. To maximize intelligence, the number of interconnections must be maximized, not streamlined into a two-dimensional branching structure. ~Duncan Work


Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. ~Confucius


When one sees Eternity in things that pass away and Infinity in finite things, then one has pure knowledge. ~Bhagavad Gita


The utmost extent of man's knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing. ~Joseph Addison


Knowledge is power and enthusiasm pulls the switch. ~Steve Droke


We're drowning in information and starving for knowledge. ~Rutherford D. Rogers


Knowledge cannot be managed — only the space in which it is created. ~Ikujiro Nonaka


Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being. ~Orison Swett Marden


When you are deluded and full of doubt, even a thousand books of scripture are not enough. When you have realized understanding, even one word is too much. ~Fen-Yang


Where is the wisdom
we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge
we have lost in information? ~T. S. Eliot


One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know. ~John Kenneth Galbraith


True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become. ~Sri Aurobindo


What we call an organization is more than anything else a pattern of knowledge and an information flow made visible. ~Clay Carr


The great end of life is not knowledge but action. ~Thomas Henry Huxley


Conversations are the way knowledge workers discover what they know, share it with their colleagues, and in the process create new knowledge for the organization. The panoply of modern information and communication technologies — for example, computers, faxes, e-mail — can help knowledge workers in this process. But all depends on the quality of the conversations that such technologies support. ~Alan Webber


Curiosity is the clay from which all knowledge is formed. ~Mark Evanier


Content is a commodity. Context is the value added. ~Walter Bender


The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot. ~Henry David Thoreau


In pursuit of knowledge,
every day something
is acquired.

In pursuit of Wisdom,
every day something
is dropped. ~Lao Tzu


Knowledge is experience.
Everything else is just information. ~Albert Einstein


Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. ~Gertrude Stein


Knowledge must be gained by ourselves. Mankind may supply us with the facts; but the results, even if they agree with previous ones, must be the work of our mind. ~Benjamin Disraeli


The highest happiness of man is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


The best things cannot be said.
The second best are misunderstood.
After that, comes civilized conversation. ~Joseph Campbell


It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. ~John Wooden


In our search for knowledge, in our acquisitive desires, we are losing love, we are blunting the feeling for beauty, the sensitivity to cruelty; we are becoming more and more specialized and less and less integrated. Wisdom cannot be replaced by knowledge, and no amount of explanation, no accumulation of facts, will free man from suffering. Knowledge is necessary, science has its place; but if the mind and heart are suffocated by knowledge, and if the cause of suffering is explained away, life becomes vain and meaningless. Information, the knowledge of facts, though ever increasing, is by its very nature limited. Wisdom is infinite, it includes knowledge and the way of action; but we take hold of a branch and think it is the whole tree. Through the knowledge of the part, we can never realize the joy of the whole. Intellect can never lead to the whole, for it is only a segment, a part. We have separated intellect from feeling, and have developed intellect at the expense of feeling, We are like a three-legged object with one leg much longer than the others, and we have no balance. We are trained to be intellectual; our education cultivates the intellect to be sharp, cunning, acquisitive, and so it plays the most important role in our life. Intelligence is much greater than intellect, for it is the integration of reason and love; but there can be intelligence only when there is self-knowledge, the deep understanding of the total process of oneself. ~Krishnamurti
