Definitions and quotes

Communication
Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share") is the act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules.
Knowledge
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
Knowledge
Various attempts have been made in recent years to state necessary and sufficient conditions for someone's knowing a given proposition. The attempts have often been such that they can be stated in a form similar to the following:
(a) S knows that P IFF (i) P is true, (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P.
... These ... examples show that definition (a) does not state a sufficient condition for someone's knowing a given proposition.

Knowledge
All teaching and all intellectual learning come about from already existing knowledge.

Owen (1853) All communications of knowledge from teacher to pupil by way of reasoning pre-suppose some pre-existing knowledge., E.S. Bouchier (1901) All instruction given or received by way of argument proceeds from pre-existent knowledge, G.R.G. Mure (1928). Other translations of this quote:
Knowledge
Minime sibi quisque notus est, et difficillime de se quisque sentit.
Every one is least known to himself, and it is very difficult for a man to know himself.
