When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to admit that you do not know it : this is knowledge in truth!
Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above the other. But remember that knowledge must be adorned, it must have luster as well as weight, or it will be often taken for Lead than Gold.
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgement, giving assent to that which is not true.
