Food for Thought

Some seek knowledge for
The sake of knowledge:
That is curiosity;
Others seek knowledge so that
They themselves may be known:
That is vanity;
But there are still others
Who seek knowledge in
Order to serve and edify others;
And that is charity.

--Bernard of Clairveaux (taken from Shaping a Christian Worldview, 15)
