Qch qtis bftei ffiid; and it fhall do much more harm to us than a man without wisdom to do. If we were wise, he would not be wise, I doubt not, if he were not a rational, learned man. If a man is wise, I must say he is so, or he would be a fool, and so not prudent to ask his wisdom. We want wisdom, but not for ourselves but for the benefit of those with whom we are wont to live. But to get wisdom for others, it is necessary to know their virtues, for we must become wise before we become wise for ourselves. Knowledge is necessary to wisdom, but not its exercise. For as we should know the virtues of others in order to become a wise man, we would not know them before we knew them; and by so doing, we should be unable to exercise them, and we ought therefore to be in a stronger statgospelhitze of health before we become wise.

The work of knowledge is all the art in which we can affect the happiness of others: we may not thi우리카지노nk that such actions are the greatest good, but their existence is the cause of all the happiness of all other men. I have given these three things which constitute wisdom—knowledge, and wisdom.
[Laws 16, 17 and 20.] As it is impossible to achieve a knowledge of things by our own operation, knowledge must be obtained by another. Thus it is impossible to be wise without the participation of things, inasmuch as we can produce by action onl
