The goal of knowledge

The "teacher" in Proverbs challenges us to seek for wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) adds,

"There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge;
That is curiosity.
There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others;
That is vanity.
There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve;
That is love."

May we learn to serve.
