Luke 1:77, KJV

Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

1 Corinthians 8:1-2, KJV

Curiosity makes semblance of a desire of knowledge; whereas You supremely know all

Augustine, Confessions

For a happy life is not seen with the eye, because it is not a body. As we remember numbers then? No. For these, he that hath in his knowledge, seeks not further to attain unto; but a happy life we have in our knowledge, and therefore love it, and yet still desire to attain it, that we may be happy.

Augustine, Confessions

why after the mention of heaven, and of the earth invisible and without form, and darkness upon the deep, Your Scripture should then at length mention Your Spirit? Was it because it was meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed, as being "borne above"; and this could not be said, unless that were first mentioned, over which Your Spirit may be understood to have been borne.

Augustine, Confessions

Thine is the grace of answer, and thine is the knowledge of question.

Rumi

No medicine can cure them, for no one has knowledge of their pains

Saadi, Bustan

The next day also did the Omnipotent Provider send the fox its daily meal. The eyes of the man were thus opened to the light of true knowledge. "After this," he reflected, "I will sit in a corner like an ant, for the elephant's portion is not gained by reason of its strength."

Saadi, Bustan

A scholar without diligence is a lover without money; a traveller without knowledge is a bird without wings; a theorist without practice is a tree without fruit; and a devotee without learning is a house without an entrance.

Saadi, Gulistan

From learning there will come to thee perfection as regards religion and the world, For thine affairs will be settled by knowledge

Saadi, Scroll of Wisdom

when the oracle, Thus by Apollo's great divine seal'd up, Shall the contents discover, something rare Even then will rush to knowledge

Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale, Act 3, Scene 1

Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue, Finding thy worth a limit past my praise,

Shakespeare, Sonnet 82
