Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, Have oft-times no connection. Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, Have oft-times no connection. Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own.

William Cowper

Knowledge, Men, Mind

'The Task' (1785) bk. 6 'The Winter Walk at Noon' l. 89

Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, the mere materials with which wisdom builds, till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

William Cowper

Knowledge, Humble, Rude

'The Task' (1785) bk. 6 'The Winter Walk at Noon' l. 96
