William Cowper Quotes on Knowledge
-
Religion! what treasure untold Resides in that heavenly word!
-
Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants; each claiming truth, And truth disclaiming both.
-
Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which wisdom builds, Till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.
