There are those who desire to acquire knowledge for its own value—and this is a base vanity. But there are others who desire to have it to edify others—and this is charity. And there are others who desire it so that they may be edified—and this is wisdom. —Bernard of Clairvaux, The Song of Solomon

Quoted: Napoleon Bonaparte on Christ’s Love
