Today’s alphabet  for the Challenge is “K”


Without any hesitant the word KNOWLEDGE came to my mind.

The dictionary says and I quote: “Information and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.


What is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information.


I did a search to find out what exactly the wise and intelligent people has to say about this:


Here are some quotes for the day I collected from different sources.


The first and foremost one touched me is the one Theodore Roosevelt’s  and Dr. Woodrow Kroll’s quotes:

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt

The Key to godliness is not more knowledge but more obedience to God.

Dr. Woodrow Kroll

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Benjamin Franklin

Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Information is not knowledge.

Albert Einstein

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own

ignorance.

Benjamin Franklin

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative

expression and knowledge.

Albert Einstein

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly

to heaven.

William Shakespeare

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Helen Keller

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.
Confucius

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Audrey Hepburn

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true
knowledge.

Socrates

The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.

John F. Kennedy

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.

Bruce Lee

Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Khalil Gibran

All men by nature desire knowledge.

Aristotle

Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have

knowledge.

Lao Tzu

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

Aristotle

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.

Jimi Hendrix

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.

Plato

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

Henry Ford

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

Napoleon Hill

    അതെ അജിത്‌ സാര്‍,
    ഈ മഹത് വചനം
    മറന്നു നാം പലതും
    സ്വയം സ്വാര്‍ത്ഥ
    താല്‍പ്പര്യത്തിനായി
    പിടിച്ചു വെക്കുന്നു
    നമുക്ക് നമ്മുടെ
    അറിവും അനുഭവവും
    അതില്ലാത്തവര്‍ക്കായി
    പങ്കു വെക്കാം
    വീണ്ടും വന്നു
    അറിവ് പകര്‍ന്നതില്‍
    നന്ദി
