I remember this from my school-days...He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is an idiot .... shun him
He who knows not and knows that he knowns not is teachable .... teach him
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep .... wake him
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man .... follow him

So the premise would then be.. To know or not to know, that is the question.

Re: The Man Who Knew Everything
I know for starters that there are approx 35,000 species of spiders in the Order Araneae . However what I don't know is their names. Clearly Noah did as he collected them all and put them on his Ark, just for starters. So was he a clever man or a know-all?
