God. Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us more - no amount of spiritual calisthenics and renunciations, no amount of knowledge gained from seminaries and divinity schools, no amount of crusading on behalf of righteous causes. And grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us less - no amount of racism or pride or pornography or adultery or even murder. Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love. ~ Philip Yancey
Knowledge Gained quotes by Philip Yancey
Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close. ~ John Ruskin
Knowledge Gained quotes by John Ruskin
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge. ~ Bertrand Russell
Knowledge Gained quotes by Bertrand Russell
Let every dawn of the morning be to you as the beginning of life. And let every setting of the sun be to you as its close. Then let everyone of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others; some good strength of knowledge gained for yourself. ~ John Ruskin
Knowledge Gained quotes by John Ruskin
Intelligence isn't just about how many levels of math courses you've taken, how fast you can solve an algorithm, or how many vocabulary words you know that are over 6 characters. It's about being able to approach a new problem, recognize its important components, and solve it - then take that knowledge gained and put it towards solving the next, more complex problem. It's about innovation and imagination, and about being able to put that to use to make the world a better place. This is the kind of intelligence that is valuable, and this is the type of intelligence we should be striving for and encouraging. ~ Andrea Kuszewsk
Knowledge Gained quotes by Andrea Kuszewsk
Use the knowledge gained and the lessons learned to practice being compassionate with yourself as you take the courageous steps to move forward.

While you're at it, tie a big knot in the uninspired words coming from the negative voices in and around you. ~ Leonie H. Mattison
Knowledge Gained quotes by Leonie H. Mattison
For some students, especially in the sciences, the knowledge gained in college may be directly relevant to graduate study. For almost all students, a liberal arts education works in subtle ways to create a web of knowledge that will illumine problems and enlighten judgment on innumerable occasions in later life. ~ Derek Bok
Knowledge Gained quotes by Derek Bok
Lessons learned are like bridges burned you only need to cross them but once. Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain, are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? ~ Dan Fogelberg
Knowledge Gained quotes by Dan Fogelberg
The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained. ~ David Bohm
Knowledge Gained quotes by David Bohm
Like any form of Art, literature's mission is to make the fulfillment of our essential duties more bearable. For a creature like man, who must forge his destiny by means of thought and reflexivity, the knowledge gained from this will perforce be unbearably lucid. We know that we are beasts who have this weapon for survival, and that we are not gods creating a world with our own thoughts, and something has to make our own wisdom bearable, something has to save us from the woeful eternal fever of biological destiny. Therefore, we have invented Art: our animal selves have devised another way to ensure the survival of our species. ~ Muriel Barbery
Knowledge Gained quotes by Muriel Barbery
Anyone who can't learn from other people's mistakes simply can't learn, and that;s all there is to it. There is value in the wrong way of doing things. The knowledge gained from errors contributes to our knowledge base. ~ Ben Carson
Knowledge Gained quotes by Ben Carson
Our society has changed greatly in the last 50 years, and workers with college degrees are no longer in short supply. Knowledge gained by formal education, while important, is not superior to knowledge gained by any other means. ~ Jason Navallo
Knowledge Gained quotes by Jason Navallo
Amer savoir, celui qu'on tire du voyage! Bitter is the knowledge gained in travelling. ~ Charles Baudelaire
Knowledge Gained quotes by Charles Baudelaire
No matter how mistaken Communist ideas may be, the experience and knowledge gained by trying them out have given a tremendous impetus to thought and imagination. ~ Anne Sullivan
Knowledge Gained quotes by Anne Sullivan
The ideas of science germinate in a matrix of established knowledge gained by experiment; they are not lonesome thoughts, born in a rarified realm where no researcher has ever gone before. ~ Seth Shostak
Knowledge Gained quotes by Seth Shostak
In fact, all the additional knowledge gained by an irrationally constituted society may but enlarge and enhance the powers of death and destruction. ~ Paul A. Baran
Knowledge Gained quotes by Paul A. Baran
Knowledge gained is as useless as pride
if filed away and never applied. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Knowledge Gained quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Knowledge gained through experience is far superior and many times more useful than bookish knowledge. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Knowledge Gained quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There are no shortcuts to knowledge, especially knowledge gained from personal experience. Following conventional wisdom and relying on shortcuts can be worse than knowing nothing at all. ~ Ben Horowitz
Knowledge Gained quotes by Ben Horowitz
Books smell. Musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer, it has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible, it should be ... smelly. ~ Rupert Giles
Knowledge Gained quotes by Rupert Giles
Find a positive lesson and positive reason for all of your personal relationships. Accentuate the blessings and knowledge gained from each. ~ Denis Waitley
Knowledge Gained quotes by Denis Waitley
Ideas and statutes that live only in disembodied intellect are fragile, easily manipulated by both sides in a debate. This is as true of European "sustainability" regulations as it is for Amazonian súmac káusai removed from its forest home. Knowledge gained through extended bodily relationship with the forest, including the forest's human communities, is more robust.
... There is truth that cannot be accessed through intellect alone, especially intellect that is not aware of local ecological variations. ~ David George Haskell
Knowledge Gained quotes by David George Haskell
They wanted to preserve and protect the mystical knowledge gained from their meditation practices and pass it on to future civilizations they clairvoyantly saw were going to be born after the destruction of Atlantis ~ Frederick Lenz
Knowledge Gained quotes by Frederick Lenz
What was most interesting was that no matter what I started - like getting an education or a nice job - I never really found fulfillment, just temporary satisfaction. I bought new cars, homes, and luxury gadgets that many people dream of, but I got bored with them in a few months. I dated beautiful women, but became just as bored with them and moved on. But there was one thing that was constant that didn't bore me. That was the knowledge gained from each experience. ~ Pejman Ghadimi
Knowledge Gained quotes by Pejman Ghadimi
A bug lies in quiet repose;
when he passed no one knows.
Did he suffer, was he pained?
Before he died, was knowledge gained?
Were all life's pressures much too great.To put upon so small a weight?
Although not one for pessimism,
I think he died of journalism! ~ Nikhil Sharda
Knowledge Gained quotes by Nikhil Sharda
I call these lessons 'learned on the fly' because the knowledge gained from the experiences connected with them were very much akin to the spirit of the centerfielder in baseball running backward at full speed, looking towards the heavens, trying to not lose sight of the ball or fail to notice the sensation of gravel from the warning track under his cleats as he knowingly approaches the blindside impact of an outfield wall. His focused intention guides him into trying to make the catch that will save the game for his team, his city and the harmony of the moment, despite the foreboding threat of a pending collision. Decisions in these situations are made in an instant. One weighs the purpose of the game, the success of the catch and one's own safety of survival in a fleeting moment, and in all hopes one lives to tell about it in the glow of great success. ~ Michael Delaware
Knowledge Gained quotes by Michael Delaware
Men look on knowledge which they learn
or might learn
from others as they do on the most beautiful structures which are not their own: in outward objects, they would rather behold their own hogsty than their neighbor's palace; and in mental ones, would prefer one grain of knowledge gained by their own observation to all the wisdom of a thousand Solomons. ~ Sarah Fielding
Knowledge Gained quotes by Sarah Fielding
If we keep the path of virtue undefiled through devout and true knowledge, and do not deviate to either side, we will experience the advent of God revealed to us because of our dispassion. For 'I will sing a psalm and in a pure path I will understand when Thou wilt come to me' (cf. Ps. 101:1-2). The psalm stands for virtuous conduct; understanding indicates the spiritual knowledge, gained through virtue, by means of which we perceive God's advent, when we wait for the Lord vigilant in the virtues. ~ Maximus The Confessor
Knowledge Gained quotes by Maximus The Confessor
Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions. ~ John Bates Clark
Knowledge Gained quotes by John Bates Clark
I have no time to judge anyone because I am so busy to love everyone. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
In Hollywood, the ... basic freedom of being able to choose between alternatives is absent. The gifted people who have the capacity for choice cannot exercise it; the executives who technically have the freedom of choice do not actually have it, because they usually lack the knowledge and imagination necessary for making such a choice. ~ Hortense Powdermaker
Knowledge Gained quotes by Hortense Powdermaker
One has to ascertain the right path for his activities by following in the footsteps of great saintly persons and books of knowledge under the guidance of a spiritual master. ~ A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Knowledge Gained quotes by A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
It has become fashionable to speak of the Enlightenment as an idiosyncratic construction by European males in a bygone era, one way of thinking among many different constructions generated across time by a legion of other minds in other cultures, each of which deserves careful and respectful attention. To which the only decent response is yes, of course - to a point. Creative thought is forever precious, and all knowledge has value. But what counts most in the long haul of history is seminality, not sentiment. If we ask whose ideas were the seeds of the dominant ethic and shared hopes of contemporary humanity, whose resulted in the most material advancement in history, whose were the first of their kind and today enjoy the most emulation, then in that sense the Enlightenment, despite the erosion of its original vision and despite the shakiness of some of its premises, has been the principal inspiration not just of Western high culture but, increasingly, of the entire world. ~ Edward O. Wilson
Knowledge Gained quotes by Edward O. Wilson
Liz pasted on a smile, trying to appear normal in light of the fact that he had possibly incriminating knowledge on her from the background check. She hoped her application for a marriage license with Craig wasn't in the report. Or her long shopping record for organization systems from The Container Store. Or her many Internet searches for breeds of nonshedding dogs (she was waiting for the house with a yard before getting one). Or her long-time obsession with new cleaning products. ~ Kylie Gilmore
Knowledge Gained quotes by Kylie Gilmore
What distinguishes the arid ages from the period of the Reformation, when nations were moved as they had not been since Paul preached in Ephesus, Corinth, and Rome, is the latter's fullness of knowledge of God's Word. To echo an early Reformation thought, when the ploughman and the garage attendant know the Bible as well as the theologian does, and know it better than some contemporary theologians, then the desired awakening shall have already occurred. ~ Gordon H. Clark
Knowledge Gained quotes by Gordon H. Clark
People accept a representation in which the elements of wish and fantasy are purposely included but which nevertheless proclaims to represent "the past" and to serve as a guide-rule for life, thereby hopelessly confusing the spheres of knowledge and will. ~ Johan Huizinga
Knowledge Gained quotes by Johan Huizinga
Shakespeare also introduces the supernatural into some of his tragedies; he introduces ghosts, and witches who have supernatural knowledge. ~ Andrew Coyle Bradley
Knowledge Gained quotes by Andrew Coyle Bradley
Lived religion is a very different thing from strict textual analysis. Very few people of any faith live their lives as literalist interpretations of scripture. Many people have little or no knowledge of scripture at all. Many others who have more knowledge choose to interpret what they know in ways that are convenient, or that fit their own moral sense of what is good. Still others view their religion as a kind of self-accepted ethnicity, but live lives utterly divorced from any sense of faith. ~ Mohsin Hamid
Knowledge Gained quotes by Mohsin Hamid
I knew now what my earlier passion for Harry had hidden from me. That although I had bedded him as a free woman I was as bound as if I were the slave. For it was not a free choice. I had wanted him because he was the Squire, not for himself ... And it was no free choice, because I could not choose to say "No." My safety and security on the land meant I had to keep my special, costly hold on its owner. I paid him rent as surely as the tenants who came to my round rent table with their coins tied up in a scrap of cloth. When I lay on my back, or strode round the room threatening him with every imaginable, ridiculous torment, I was paying my dues. And the knowledge galled me. ~ Philippa Gregory
Knowledge Gained quotes by Philippa Gregory
The Northern press, as a whole, did not discourage these claims; a portion of it always magnified rebel success and belittled ours, while another portion, most sincerely earnest in their desire for the preservation of the Union and the overwhelming success of the Federal armies, would nevertheless generally express dissatisfaction with whatever victories were gained because they ~ Ulysses S. Grant
Knowledge Gained quotes by Ulysses S. Grant
I look around and see that many - not all, but many - problems we've got could be solved if our culture simply fostered the habit of reading. Reading books of science, philosophy, history. Reading literature of quality, the sort that touches us because of a more profound reason, such as, for instance, because it's got something to say beyond all the futilities and trifles of life, even while depicting the ordinary in life, at the same time that it says it with style, in a unique, admirable manner. An original one.


We are not a county of readers, notwithstanding. We are the country of football turned into a cult, of guile being ranked high as a cardinal virtue, of Carnival made for exportation. A country where there are more letters in political party acronyms than in all many of our politicians have written in a lifetime. A country where ethics has become a joke theme. Where democracy is but a ridiculous puppet theatre.

Yes, I look around and see that many problems could be solved if we had the habit of reading. But I am not even sure whether there is someone reading these words. ~ Camilo Gomes Jr.
Knowledge Gained quotes by Camilo Gomes Jr.
...explaining men still assume I am, in some sort of obscene impregnation metaphor, an empty vessel to be filled with their wisdom and knowledge. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Knowledge Gained quotes by Rebecca Solnit
If you are going to accept anything, accept who you are. ~ J.R. Rim
Knowledge Gained quotes by J.R. Rim
Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth. ~ Saint Basil
Knowledge Gained quotes by Saint Basil
The author says this socially respectable option NOT to parent has actually made parenthood more stressful. The knowledge that parents have chosen that role allows for unrealistic buildup of expectations and unavoidable second-guessing. ~ Jennifer Senior
Knowledge Gained quotes by Jennifer Senior
The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one. ~ James Goldsmith
Knowledge Gained quotes by James Goldsmith
After 1656 the Dutch, who had gained control over the Moluccas, chose the islands that could be most easily defended. They then burned all the nutmeg trees on the other islands to make sure no one else could profit from the trees. Anyone caught trying to smuggle nutmeg out of the Moluccas was put to death. The Dutch also dipped all their nutmegs in lime (a caustic substance) to stop the seed from sprouting and to prevent people from planting their own trees. Pigeons, however, defied these Dutch precautions. Birds could eat nutmeg fruits, fly to another island and leave the seeds behind in their droppings. ~ Meredith Sayles Hughes
Knowledge Gained quotes by Meredith Sayles Hughes
No ground gained was ever relinquished. ~ Matthew B. Ridgway
Knowledge Gained quotes by Matthew B. Ridgway
In 1969 I published a small book on Humility. It was a pioneering work which has not, to my knowledge, been superceded. ~ Frank Pakenham
Knowledge Gained quotes by Frank Pakenham
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know. ~ Donald Rumsfeld
Knowledge Gained quotes by Donald Rumsfeld
My life is complete and fulfilled, in that I have been blessed with the three things I hold most dear: knowledge, virtue, and the capability to help others find God. ~ Elif Shafak
Knowledge Gained quotes by Elif Shafak
It not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know. ~ Tony Robbins
Knowledge Gained quotes by Tony Robbins
Presented with a challenge to its power, an illegitimate regime will often overreact, driven by the knowledge that all they have is force. ~ Chris Hayes
Knowledge Gained quotes by Chris Hayes
Mother, recently I have discovered the one way in which human beings differ completely from other animals. Man has, I know, language, knowledge, principles, and social order, but don't all the other animals have them too, granted the difference of degree? Perhaps the animals even have religions. Man boasts of being the lord of all creation, but it would seem as if essentially he does not differ in the least from other animals. But, Mother, there was one way I thought of. Perhaps you won't understand. It's a faculty absolutely unique to man - having secrets. Can you see what I mean? ~ Osamu Dazai
Knowledge Gained quotes by Osamu Dazai
We cannot know what time will do to us with its fine, indistinguishable layers upon layers, we cannot know what it might make of us. It advances stealthily, day by day and hour by hour and step by poisoned step, never drawing attention to its surreptitious labours, so respectful and considerate that it never once gives us a sudden prod or a nasty fright. Every morning, it turns up with its soothing, invariable face and tells us exactly the opposite of what is actually happening: that everything is fine and nothing has changed, that everything is just as it was yesterday
the balance of power
that nothing has been gained and nothing lost, that our face is the same, as is our hair and our shape, that the person who hated us continues to hate us and the person who loved us continues to love us. ~ Javier Marias
Knowledge Gained quotes by Javier Marias
Nothing gets easier but our abilities get better. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
Oh, how fine it is to know a thing or two. ~ Moliere
Knowledge Gained quotes by Moliere
The right idea at the right time is like a dandelion...You may hack it down, but you only spread the seeds abroad. ~ Mike Carey
Knowledge Gained quotes by Mike Carey
Be the God or goddess of love and love everyone. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
Just be simple, just be kind, just be loving. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
Proof is an idol before which the mathematician tortures himself. ~ Arthur Eddington
Knowledge Gained quotes by Arthur Eddington
I found that with Rooney, her instincts in films was always to underplay and to sort of reduce down what was necessary to bring you in - a sense of economy, a sense of scale, which just seemed to understand the medium so well. When you see that in a younger actor, I always think it speaks to incredible knowledge. I can't exactly figure out where that comes from, that confidence to know how to be quiet. ~ Todd Haynes
Knowledge Gained quotes by Todd Haynes
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, do something for peace. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
What I have is thine, what I gave away is always mine. ~ Debasish Mridha
Knowledge Gained quotes by Debasish Mridha
Although changing our society by calling it back to a safer morality is a noble goal, that has never been Christ's goal for His church. The church has but one mission in this world: to lead people destined to spend eternity in hell to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and an eternity in heaven. If people die in a communist government or a democracy, under a tyrant or a benevolent dictator, believing homosexuality is right or wrong, or believing abortion is a woman's fundamental right to choose or simply mass murder, that has no bearing on where they will spend eternity. If they never knew Christ and never embraced Him as their Lord and Savior, they will spend eternity in hell. ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
Knowledge Gained quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
Teaching, like any truly human activity, emerges from one's inwardness, for better or worse. As I teach I project the condition of my soul onto my students, my subject, and our way of being together. The entanglements I experience in the classroom are often no more or less than the convolutions of my inner life. Viewed from this angle, teaching holds a mirror to the soul. If I am willing to look in that mirror and not run from what I see, I have a chance to gain self-knowledge-and knowing myself is as crucial to good teaching as knowing my students and my subject. ~ Parker J. Palmer
Knowledge Gained quotes by Parker J. Palmer
True knowledge is when one knows the limitations of one's knowledge. ~ Confucius
Knowledge Gained quotes by Confucius
Is it not lack of faith that leads men to fear the scrutiny of reason? If the destination is doubtful, than the path must be fraught with fear. A robust faith need not fear, for if God exists, then reason cannot help but lead us to Him. Cogito, ergo Deus est,'says St. Augustine, I think, therefore God is. ~ Donna Woolfolk Cross
