from john milton


knowledge is as food, and needs no less
her temperance over appetite, to know
in measure what the mind may well contain;
oppresses else with surfeit, and soon turns
wisdom to folly, as nourishment to wind.

-Book VII Paradise Lost

(knowledge without wisdom is not worth a fart)

would that 'twere true

we do not kill one another over our disagreements about the will of god
because we believe that it is the will of god
that we should not kill one another over our disagreements
about the will of god

--richard john neuhaus (in current FIRST THINGS)
