He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool — shun him!

He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is unlearned — teach him!

He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep — awaken him!

He who knows and knows that he knows, is enlightened — follow him!

Arab proverb quoted by Lady Isabel Burton (1831–1896) in The Life of Captain Sir Richard F. Burton
