The line he must walk is a hair's breadth. The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.“ — Ralph Waldo Emerson „Wisdom is, I suppose, 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.“ — Charles Spurgeon „The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.“ — William Shakespeare
