Knowing Enough..
> ち‐そく【知足】
１《「老子」三三章の「足るを知る者は富む」から》みずからの分をわきまえて、それ以上のものを求めないこと。分相応のところで満足すること。
> He who knows he has enough is rich.^2

> 【知足】ちそく
足るを知る。〔老子、四十六〕罪は欲すべきより大なるは(な)く、は足るを知らざるより大なるはく、咎(とが)は得んと欲するより大なるはし。故に知足を知りて足れりとせば、常に足る。
> .. [They] who know... that enough is enough will always have enough.^3

> ... it is not the quantity of the words we are acquainted with, but the quality of our understanding of them, which matters. The chief vice of foreign-language learning (and indeed of much native-language learning) is picking up words without learning quite what they mean, accepting them with indefinite and vague meanings that thereafter obscure their real uses from us.
