Lately I keep thinking our biggest problem is that we confuse intelligence with loudness and arrogance, when really it's the opposite.

Intelligence is humility. It's listening and paying attention. It's understanding there's stuff you don't know or understand.

He who knows 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 child; teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep; awaken him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise; follow him.
