He who know NOT and knows not that he knows not is a fool |

Shun him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a baby teach him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him.
He who KNOWS and knows that he KNOWS is a wise man follow him.
We know that we know because we can recall not knowing.
At times it is just good to KNOW that we just don't know and seek knowledge.
But lord help us from the one who thinks they know it all.

"I'm right, I know I'm right, and anyone who disagrees with me are obviously ignorant or are victims of propaganda."
