He strove to make all knowledge his province and yet his sense was corrupted by immoderacy and a callous spirit. He was beaten by a better man. Secondly, the most that education can do is to create an awareness of the difference between good and evil. Similarly, education cannot make a person prudent. It can supply him with knowledge but it cannot induce him to make use of it.
Forethought is limited by foreknowledge.
Moreover, a well educated man becomes accustomed to putting his knowledge to good use. Thirdly, the benefits of education must be correctly attributed. There is much that masquerades as education but is entirely destructive, misleading and foolish. True education is the imparting of knowledge to the individual together with the disciplined development of the student's intellectual faculties so that he is able to fully and correctly discern, understand and apply it. Its characteristics must therefore be objectivity and discipline.
