13604, Know Thy Self Posted by guest, Mon Jun-04-01 06:46 AM
A person who knows not And knows that they know not Is foolish- disregard them
A person who knows not And knows that they know not Is simple- teach them
A person who knows not And believes that they know Is dangerous- avoid them
A person who knows And knows not that they know Is asleep- wake them
A person who knows and knows that they know Is wise- follow them
All of these persons reside in you Know Thy Self And to Maat be true
*a modern adaptation of an ancient proverb, taken from the book "Nile Valley Contributions To Civilization" by Anthony T. Browder
