CXXI

The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is,

as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organise into a basis for

action; give them more and it may become injurious. One knows people

who are as heavy and stupid from undigested learning as others are from

over-fulness of meat and drink.
