Knowledge Quotes

Knowledge is a very powerful thing. In the right hands it can move mountains. In the wrong hands it can lead to unspeakable evil. Knowledge quotes remind us that the pursuit of knowledge is a noble undertaking and that learning is a lifetime pursuit. Through knowledge, we advance ourselves and our civilization, using the information we acquire as building blocks. Knowledge quotes teach us the importance of gaining knowledge, learning to use it wisely in our lives and hopefully for good. As Russian playwright and writer Anton Chekhov once said, “knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” Reference.com Definition of Knowledge
