Self-knowledge comes from knowing other men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is no self-knowledge but an historical one. No one knows what he himself is who does not know his fellow men, especially the most prominent one of the community, the master's master, the genius of the age.
I think self-knowledge is the rarest trait in a human being.
The natural desire of good men is knowledge.
Men need knowledge in order to overpower their passions and master their prejudices.
There is no substitute for accurate knowledge. Know yourself, know your business, know your men.
Men know everything - all of them - all the time - no matter how stupid or inexperienced or arrogant or ignorant they are.
A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
The only knowledge which satisfies us is one which is subject to no external standards but springs from the inner life of the personality.
We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
