Suicidology: Theoretical and Practical Knowledge of Suicide Prevention

Virtue is harder to be got than knowledge of the world; and, if lost in a young man, is seldom recovered.

To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal; to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal.

"Knowledge," in the sense of information, means the working capital, the indispensable resources, of further inquiry; of finding out, or learning, more things. Frequently it is treated as an end in itself, and then the goal becomes to heap it up and display it when called for. This static, cold-storage ideal of knowledge is inimical to educative development.
