Billy GrahamThe blessing of knowledge becomes a curse when we pervert it.
About This Quote
To pervert is to twist or distort. When we use our knowledge for evil, rather than good, it becomes a curse. It’s like when someone has a lot of money and goes on a spending spree. They are always telling their friends, "I have so much money! I don’t even know what to do with it all." That’s the blessing of knowledge becoming a curse. It’s like having too much money and never using it for anything practical like paying your bills or investing in something that will give you more money in the future.
