The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move; the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity.
Matthew Simpson, American Clergyman (1811-1884)
Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.
Matthew Simpson, American Clergyman (1811-1884)
If we look at the realm of knowledge, how exceedingly small and limited is that part acquired through our own senses; how wide is that we gain from other sources.
Matthew Simpson, American Clergyman (1811-1884)
If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.
Matthew Simpson, American Clergyman (1811-1884)
Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.

Exclusively oral cultures are unencumbered by dead knowledge, dead facts. Libraries, on the other hand, are full of them.
Huston Smith, American Theologian (1919-  )
It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness, the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him, and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him, no error without evil.
James Smithson, British Scientist
The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
Ralph W. Sockman, American Leader
To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.
Socrates, Greek Philosopher
True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Socrates, Greek Philosopher
To-day it appears as though it may well be altogether abolished in the future as it has to some extent been mitigated in the past by the unceasing, and as it now appears, unlimited ascent of man to knowledge, and through knowledge to physical power and dominion over Nature.
Frederick Soddy, English Scientist (1877-1956)
On our plane knowledge and ignorance are the immemorial adversaries.
Frederick Soddy, English Scientist (1877-1956)
There is a general knowledge that I am multi-dimensional, that when you are creative you do a lot of things.
