Extracting Knowledge
Proverbs 18:1
Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeks and intermeddles with all wisdom.


There is no kind of knowledge which, in the hands of the diligent and skilful, will not turn to account. Honey exudes from all flowers, the bitter not excepted; and the bee knows how to extract it.

(Bp. Horne.)
