Through the centuries, a lot has been said by great thinkers on the subject of knowledge. Here are some of our favorite quotations about knowledge:

“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by it.” Thomas Fuller

“The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowledge leaves off and ignorance begins.” Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
