Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom.

You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.
