I know I have to stop. We all have to stop. Funny how knowing something's a bad idea doesn't make a difference.

Sara Ryan

When you do make losses, or you have businesses that don't succeed, it's about knowing when to stop and do something else.

Peter Jones

We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop.

Paulo Coelho

Toni Morrison

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Richard P. Feynman

Sometimes knowing what to do is knowing when to stop.

Bill Crawford

Eventually we realize that not knowing what to do is just as real and just as useful as knowing what to do. Not knowing stops us from taking false directions. Not knowing what to do, we start to pay real attention. Just as people lost in the wilderness, on a cliff face or in a blizzard pay attention with a kind of acuity that they would not have if they thought they knew where they were. Why? Because for those who are really lost, their life depends on paying real attention. If you think you know where you are, you stop looking.

David Whyte

Ask yourself whether you have earned the right to have an opinion. Opinions are easy to produce, so bad ones abound. Knowing that you don't know something is nearly as valuable as knowing it. The worst situation is thinking you know something when you don't.

Pauline Kael

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing - not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything. If you give yourself this gift of not knowing and you follow it, a vast spaciousness and mysterious openness dawns within you. Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.

Adyashanti

The motive that impels modern reason to know must be described as the desire to conquer and dominate. For the Greek philosophers and the Fathers of the church, knowing meant something different: it meant knowing in wonder. By knowing or perceiving one participates in the life of the other. Here knowing does not transform the counterpart into the property of the knower; the knower does not appropriate what he knows. On the contrary, he is transformed through sympathy, becoming a participant in what he perceives.

Jürgen Moltmann

Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?

James Patterson

I am sufficiently proud of my knowing something to be modest about my not knowing all.

Vladimir Nabokov

Knowing something for oneself or for communication to an expert colleague is not the same as knowing it for explanation to a student.

Hyman Bass

Hillary [Clinton] can't stop [Forces of Nature], [Bernie] Sanders can't stop it, [Donald] Trump can't stop it. But you can do something that will cause God to give America a longer time to exist as a nation.

Louis Farrakhan

The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.

Samuel Johnson
