Ancient and Modern Proverbs.

“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; avoid him. “He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is simple; teach him. “He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. “But he who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man; follow him.” —From the Arabian Proverbs. “He who travels by the New York Central knows that he rides over smooth and level tracks, In luxurious trains, at great speed, through the most delightful country, and at a cost of but two cents per mile. This man is of sound judgment. Follow his example, and you will be happy.”—An American Proverb. —From the Brooklyn Standard Union.
