In the Know

He Who Knows

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, wake him;

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

Persian Proverb*
