It is easier to list modes of behaviour that are required or forbidden than to set reason to work; but once the mind has been stored with useful knowledge and strengthened by being used, the regulation of the behaviour may safely be left to its guidance without the aid of formal rules. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Useful Knowledge quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
I do not know what 'moss' stands for in the proverb , but if it stood for useful knowledge ... I gathered more moss by rolling than I ever did at school. ~ Ernest Shackleton
Useful Knowledge quotes by Ernest Shackleton
No one has a monopoly on knowledge the way that, say, IBM had in the 1960s in computing, or that Bell Labs had through the 1970s in communications. When useful knowledge exists in companies of all sizes and also in universities, non-profits and individual minds, it makes sense to orient your innovation efforts to accessing, building upon and integrating that external knowledge into useful products and services. ~ Henry Chesbrough
Useful Knowledge quotes by Henry Chesbrough
Academic pedigree alone is no guarantor of useful knowledge and wisdom. ~ Robert Samuelson
Useful Knowledge quotes by Robert Samuelson
The principal object of your reading should be for the acquisition of useful knowledge , and the strengthening, refining, and ennobling of your character. ~ Grenville Kleiser
Useful Knowledge quotes by Grenville Kleiser
I believe the most useful knowledge about human behavior is based on people's lived experiences. ~ Brene Brown
Useful Knowledge quotes by Brene Brown
A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. ~ Plato
Useful Knowledge quotes by Plato
Awareness about lack of knowledge is the most useful knowledge. ~ Debasish Mridha
Useful Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
Provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all. ~ Jane Austen
Useful Knowledge quotes by Jane Austen
This [Scientology] is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner. By its use the thousand abilities Man has sought to recover become his once more. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Useful Knowledge quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
It's where we're nearest to our humanness. Useless knowledge for its own sake. Useful knowledge is good, too, but it's for the faint-hearted, an elaboration of the real thing, which is only to shine some light, it doesn't matter where on what, it's the light itself, against the darkness, it's what's left of God's purpose when you take away God. ~ Tom Stoppard
Useful Knowledge quotes by Tom Stoppard
Knowledge gained through experience is far superior and many times more useful than bookish knowledge. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Useful Knowledge quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
My fundamental philosophy is that you owe it to society to transfer to them any knowledge you have that might be useful. ~ Leroy Hood
Useful Knowledge quotes by Leroy Hood
It is your mind that matters economically, as much or more than your mouth or hands. In the long run, the most important economic effect of population size and growth is the contribution of additional people to our stock of useful knowledge. And this contribution is large enough in the long run to overcome all the costs of population growth. ~ Julian Simon
Useful Knowledge quotes by Julian Simon
The best armor of old age is a well-spent life preceding it. ~ Charlie Munger
Useful Knowledge quotes by Charlie Munger
The most important benefit of population size and growth is the increase it brings to the stock of useful knowledge. Minds matter economically as much as, or more than, hands or mouths. ~ Julian Simon
Useful Knowledge quotes by Julian Simon
Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that, because useful knowledge should be remembered, any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too. ~ Albert J. Nock
Useful Knowledge quotes by Albert J. Nock
Knowledge is power? No. Knowledge on its own is nothing, but the application of useful knowledge, now that is powerful. ~ Rob Liano
Useful Knowledge quotes by Rob Liano
We have heard of a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It is said that knowledge is power, and the like. Methinks there is equal need of a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Ignorance, what we will call Beautiful Knowledge, a knowledge useful in a higher sense: for what is most of our boasted so-called knowledge but a conceit that we know something, which robs us of the advantage of our actual ignorance? What we call knowledge is often our positive ignorance; ignorance our negative knowledge. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Useful Knowledge quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The best Armour of Old Age is a well spent life preceding it; a Life employed in the Pursuit of useful Knowledge, in honourable Actions and the Practice of Virtue; in which he who labours to improve himself from his Youth, will in Age reap the happiest Fruits of them; not only because these never leave a Man, not even in the extremest Old Age; but because a Conscience bearing Witness that our Life was well-spent, together with the Remembrance of past good Actions, yields an unspeakable Comfort to the Soul ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Useful Knowledge quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
All this is not to suggest that the growth in useful knowledge is leading us to a world of bliss. Athena's gifts were many: she gave King Cecrops the olive tree, but she also gave the city of Troy the wooden horse that led to its destruction. Technology makes people more powerful in exploiting nature, but how and for what purpose they do so remains indeterminate. If the twentieth century has shown us anything, it is that the capacity of humans for intolerance, stupidity, and selfishness has not declined as their technological power has increased. ~ Joel Mokyr
Useful Knowledge quotes by Joel Mokyr
Knowledge is like underwear. It is useful to have it, but not necessary to show it off. ~ Nicky Gumbel
Useful Knowledge quotes by Nicky Gumbel
Oho, now I know what you are. You are an advocate of Useful Knowledge ... Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position. ~ Robertson Davies
Useful Knowledge quotes by Robertson Davies
Let us return to the idea that universities generate wealth and the growth of useful knowledge in society. There is a causal illusion here; time to bust it. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Useful Knowledge quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Defeat is a transient perception but giving up is permanent. So never give up. ~ Debasish Mridha
Useful Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
Before aligning the body to the future, the mind has to straighten out from the impairment or religion. ~ David L. Lloyd
Useful Knowledge quotes by David L. Lloyd
You must remember that our God has all knowledge and all wisdom, and that therefore it is very possible He may guide you into paths wherein He knows great blessings are awaiting you, but which, to the shortsighted human eyes around you, seem sure to result in confusion and loss. ~ Hannah Whitall Smith
Useful Knowledge quotes by Hannah Whitall Smith
How much more infinite a sea is man? Be not so childish as to measure him from head to foot and think you have found his borders. ~ Mikhail Naimy
Useful Knowledge quotes by Mikhail Naimy
It's hard for me to imagine that some people in the CIA who had firsthand knowledge would be unable to recognize that this would be helpful information for a soldier's death. ~ Christopher Shays
Useful Knowledge quotes by Christopher Shays
A wise, joyous bookit unfolds the knowledge and the beauty of the two lives it embraces-old wisdom and young discover, intertwining like vines. ~ Rex Reed
Useful Knowledge quotes by Rex Reed
A biblical metaphysics implies a biblical theory of knowledge and a biblical ethic. ~ Henry R. Van Til
Useful Knowledge quotes by Henry R. Van Til
You sum up the whole of New Testament religion if you describe it as the knowledge of God as one's holy Father. If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.

For everything that Christ taught, everything that makes the New Testament new, and better than the Old, everything that is distinctively Christian as opposed to merely Jewish, is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. 'Father' is the Christian name for God. Our understanding of Christianity cannot be better than our grasp of adoption. ~ J.I. Packer
Useful Knowledge quotes by J.I. Packer
I think my dyslexia was a vital part of my development because my inability to read and write meant that I had to find knowledge elsewhere so I looked to the cinema. ~ Joe Wright
Useful Knowledge quotes by Joe Wright
Art is as original and important as it is precisely because it does not start out with clear knowledge of what it means to say. ~ John Gardner
Useful Knowledge quotes by John Gardner
God is the One that gives knowledge and revelation ~ Sunday Adelaja
Useful Knowledge quotes by Sunday Adelaja
The present and future of knowledge attainment and essential business skills. ~ Bill Gates
Useful Knowledge quotes by Bill Gates
The tenth gift is Wisdom. Guiding your way, wisdom will lead you through knowledge to understanding. May you hear its soft voice. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Useful Knowledge quotes by Charlene Costanzo
A true leader does not derive power from his position, but from his ethics, from people's love for him, and from his knowledge, education and excellence in his field of work. ~ Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Useful Knowledge quotes by Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Most sows are repeatedly inseminated, brood after brood, till their bodies give way and they go to slaughter. But while they're still useful, they're made to nurse - strapped to their sides in a farrowing crate, legs apart, nipples exposed. Pigs are extremely smart, sociable creatures, and this forced assembly-line intimacy makes the nursing sows want to die. Which, as soon as they dry up, they do. ~ Gillian Flynn
Useful Knowledge quotes by Gillian Flynn
Indians are great lovers of cricket, they have always been that as far as I can remember - great followers of the game and have knowledge about the game. ~ Garfield Sobers
Useful Knowledge quotes by Garfield Sobers
Perfect knowledge comes only when you see the world in yourself, just as he who awakes from the dream then knows he saw his dream-world with its suns and stars in himself. ~ V. S. Subramanya Iyer
Useful Knowledge quotes by V. S. Subramanya Iyer
Ultimately, nobody can get more out of things, including books, than he already knows. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Useful Knowledge quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I've stated before that my number one priority as the steward of the Dodgers is winning, and I believe that hiring Ned is a step in that direction. With his genuine passion for baseball, his intimate knowledge of all aspects of the game, and solid leadership skills, I am confident that Ned's experience will help the Dodgers put a winning team on the field, year-in and year-out. ~ Frank McCourt
Useful Knowledge quotes by Frank McCourt
Drawing ... is an innocent & engaging amusement, often useful, and a qualification not to be neglected in one who is to become a mother & an instructor. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Useful Knowledge quotes by Thomas Jefferson
You discover nothing; you only learn of
what you have been ignorant of so far. ~ Lamine Pearlheart
Useful Knowledge quotes by Lamine Pearlheart
Nine out of ten humans killed? And you're not bothered."
A look of mysterious thoughtfulness crossed his face. "A virus can be useful to a species by thinning it out," he said.
A scream cut the air. It sounded nonhuman.
He took his eyes off the water and looked around. "Hear that pheasant? That's what I like about the Bighorn River," he said.
"Do you find viruses beautiful?"
"Oh, yeah," he said softly. "Isn't it true that if you stare into the eyes of a cobra, the fear has another side to it? The fear is lessened as you begin to see the essence of the beauty. Looking at Ebola under an electron microscope is like looking at a gorgeously wrought ice castle. The thing is so cold. So totally pure." He laid a perfect cast on the water, and eddies took the fly down. (92) ~ Richard Preston
Useful Knowledge quotes by Richard Preston
Ignorance is toxic. If a man hands you a cup of coffee and pours in what he calls liquid sugar when the container clearly says poison, how bliss is your ignorance? ~ James Jean-Pierre
Useful Knowledge quotes by James Jean-Pierre
There is more to be pondered in the grain and texture of life than traditional fiction allows. The work of essayists is vital precisely because it permits and encourages self-knowledge in a way that is less indirect than fiction, more open and speculative. ~ Charles J. Shields
Useful Knowledge quotes by Charles J. Shields
The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is the pretense of intelligent ignorance. The former is teachable; the latter is not. ~ Criss Jami
Useful Knowledge quotes by Criss Jami
'Blanche' opened a new door for me without really making me more famous. 'Blanche' was a risk, but that is the only thing that excites me in this profession. The knowledge that I am an actress who takes risks lifts my soul. ~ Lou Doillon
Useful Knowledge quotes by Lou Doillon
Life is not what one lived, but what One remembers and how One remembers it in order to recount it ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Useful Knowledge quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The true foundation of the brotherhood of humankind is belief in the knowledge that God is the Father of humankind. For us, therefore, brotherhood is not only a generous impulse but also a divine command. ~ Harry S. Truman
Useful Knowledge quotes by Harry S. Truman
I believe there exists, & I feel within me, an instinct for the truth, or knowledge or discovery, of something of the same nature as the instinct of virtue, & that our having such an instinct is reason enough for scientific researches without any practical results ever ensuing from them. ~ Charles Darwin
Useful Knowledge quotes by Charles Darwin
A little knowledge of God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge about him. ~ J.I. Packer
Useful Knowledge quotes by J.I. Packer
There is a chasm between knowledge and ignorance which the arches of science can never span. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Useful Knowledge quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Film is universal. All the countries of the world are making films. Hollywood is the only major unsubsidized center for films. To my knowledge all others are at least partially subsidized. I'm glad Hollywood isn't. ~ Frank Capra
Useful Knowledge quotes by Frank Capra
There's faith that knows itself as faith, Proyas, and there's faith that confuses itself for knowledge. The first embraces uncertainty, acknowledges the mysteriousness of the God. It begets compassion and tolerance. Who can entirely condemn when they're not entirely certain they're in the right? But the second, Proyas, the second embraces certainty and only pays lip service to the God's mystery. It begets intolerance, hatred, violence. ~ R. Scott Bakker
Useful Knowledge quotes by R. Scott Bakker
To live, embrace love, to die, cease to love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Useful Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
As John Bruer describes in The Myth of the First Three Years, nature has developed three ways for you to learn as an adult: Continue to strengthen your existing synaptic connections (as happens when you perfect a talent with relevant skills and knowledge), keep losing more of your extraneous connections (as also happens when you focus on your talents and allow other connections to deteriorate), or develop a few more synaptic connections. ~ Donald O. Clifton
Useful Knowledge quotes by Donald O. Clifton
Your knowledge is not a substitute for your passion. No matter how knowledgeable you are, when laziness takes the lead in your daily decisions, your knowledge becomes valueless! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Useful Knowledge quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
I am in love with the universe.
So much to give; so much to care,
So much to love; so much to share. ~ Debasish Mridha
Useful Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
The ordinary American voter does not object to mediocrity. He likes his candidate to be sensible, vigorous, and, above all, what he calls 'magnetic,' and does not value, because he sees no need for, originality or profundity, a fine culture or a wide knowledge. ~ James Bryce
Useful Knowledge quotes by James Bryce
He was either right or wrong. Worrying didn't make it any better. She let herself drift off with the scent of him in her lungs, with the knowledge that she was loved in her head and heart. ~ Christine Feehan
Useful Knowledge quotes by Christine Feehan
Hard words are very rarely useful. Real firmness is good for every thing. Strut is good for nothing. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Useful Knowledge quotes by Alexander Hamilton
The Shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge, and it therefore, as a rule, meets with considerable resistance. Indeed, self-knowledge as a psychotherapuetic measure frequently requires much painstaking work extending over a long period of time. ~ Carl Jung
Useful Knowledge quotes by Carl Jung
It is better the truth should come little by little. I have learned that, being a priest. Perhaps, in the old days, they ate knowledge too fast. ~ Stephen Vincent Benet
Useful Knowledge quotes by Stephen Vincent Benet
Joy and happiness derives not from receiving but from giving. ~ Debasish Mridha
Useful Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
The joy of research is picking the fruits of discovery. ~ Steven Magee
Useful Knowledge quotes by Steven Magee
The search for knowledge is a long and difficult task. ~ Fabiola Gianotti
Useful Knowledge quotes by Fabiola Gianotti
Our sense of self, formulated in large part by the untold number of cross-related connections that we make with our physical, social, and family environments, is reliant upon fitting into our social fabric. The educational environment, family relationships, peer groups, books, television, films, music, along with an assortment of other cultural events shape our emergent persona. Our successes and failures interacting in the world leave their collective imprint upon the wet clay of our forming brains. We are sentimental creatures who cling to past memories. We are inquisitive critters who venture forth from our protective dens to explore new territory. We are perceptive organisms equipped with five basic senses. We are sentient beings who can consciously organize our sense impressions into guiding ideas and useful principles. Our survival responses form a central cord of our emotions. We are receptive, compassionate beings that respond with both body and mind to global stimuli. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Useful Knowledge quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
But what will happen even if we do burn down the Jews synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise God, to pray, to teach, to utter God's name? They will still keep doing it in secret. If we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. for our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before God. ~ Martin Luther
Useful Knowledge quotes by Martin Luther
