About This Quote
Knowledge gained is as useless as pride if filed away and never applied. Pride, though often considered a sin, can be an asset. The pride that comes with knowledge can make someone more successful, but only if it is used to help others. Knowledge must be applied to help others. If it is not, the knowledge remains just that—knowledge—and it does no good to anyone.
