About this Quote

This quote by Friedrich Schiller speaks with the significance of knowledge and action in life. Knowledge is the first factor that encourages action, as it offers us with the information and understanding essential to make choices and do something about it. The item of knowledge is the second aspect, as it is the goal or purpose of the understanding that drives us to do something about it. Finally, the knower is the third element, as it is the individual who has the knowledge and the ability to do something about it. The senses, the work, and the doer are the threefold basis of action, as they are the tools and resources necessary to act. The senses supply us with the information we require to make decisions, the work is the effort we put in to act, and the doer is the individual who takes action. Together, these 3 factors supply the foundation for taking action and attaining success.
