About This Quote

To become wise, you must first go astray. If you want to be wise, you must first go away from the devil's way. This means that if you are to learn wisdom, you must first leave the devil's ways. You must leave your old ways and cultivate new ones. You must pay attention to the things that are good, not the things that are bad.
