William Cowper Quotes About Knowledge

Quotes about: Knowledge

• Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; wisdom is humble that it knows no more.

  William Cowper

  Inspirational, Life, Motivational

• Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,
  Have oft-times no connection. Knowledge dwells
  In heads replete with thoughts of other men;
  Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

  William Cowper

  'The Task' (1785) bk. 6 'The Winter Walk at Noon' l. 89

• Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, the mere materials with which wisdom builds, till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

  William Cowper
