p.185, 187 The essence of wisdom... lies not in what is known but rather in the manner in which that knowledge is held
and in how that knowledge is put to use. To be wise is not to know particular facts but to know without excessive
confidence or excessive cautiousness... [to] both accumulate knowledge while remaining suspicious of it, and recognizing
that much remains unknown, is to be wise
p.210 the essence of wisdom is in knowing that one does not know, in the appreciation that knowledge
is fallible, in the balance between knowing and doubting
