Knowledge, Power, Wealth and Wisdom
About this book
Knowledge involves true belief and the realization of one's own ignorance is the precondition for its attainment.
Power is similar to distilled liquor; it will intoxicate and dim the judgment of even the most scrupulous men.
Wealth is frequently associated with spiritual poverty and the distribution of wealth in any society exposes its lack of justice.
Wisdom is combined with the trinity of values, which are, the absolute truth, the spirit of beauty and complete goodness.
The man who is neither good nor wise remains self-satisfied. He has no desire to acquire that to which he feels no need.
Aristotle insisted that life is the activity of the mind. Plato insisted that life is a preparation for death.
