Some seek knowledge
“Some seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge – and that is curiosity. Some seek knowledge that they may be known to have knowledge – and that is vanity. Some seek knowledge that they may give to others their knowledge – and that is charity.”
Bernard of Clairveaux
Saint Bernard of Clairveaux was a French abbot of the 12th century.

Some seek knowledge because the humans are moved by wisdom. The wisdom is reached throuth the permanent seek knowledge.

Well, in that case I have had the three of them because I was curious when learning, then I showed what I learnt and finally I taught and helped some people to learn. Somebody told me once that through teaching you have a way to help people.

Hi Joe,
Liked your quote “Some seek knowledge” but knew it wasn’t quite accurate.
“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge - that is curiosity.
There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others - that is vanity.
There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve, that is love.”
I like this one better. Love your ESL sites by the way, thank you.

I really like the quote it helps me realized that our own quest for knowledge should have a good purpose in order to get the real essence of it. Lets us all continue to seek knowledge then…
