“Of all knowledge, the wise and good seek mostly to know themselves.”

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

“Good apprentices know that they are in the process of becoming masters and that as responsible artisans they must seek to improve upon the knowledge entrusted to them and go further.”

“He is wise who knows the sources of knowledge—where it is written and where it is to be found.”

“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity.There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity.There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”

“The wise man seeks first and foremost to use his good fortune to increase the number of those with whom he collaborates.”
