Samuel Johnson
English author, critic, & lexicographer (1709 - 1784)
Samuel Johnson wrote this about education. He was comparing, ignorant but caring, ethical people as opposed to educated and brilliant but selfish and antisocial people, Johnson was stating that, it is dangerous to educate people without a moral compass, or as former President Teddy Roosevelt once said, "To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."
"It's like the gun issue. If you teach a person how to obtain and use a gun, but then you also teach and give example of good moral character, you get a safe gun owner/hunter. But if take the same person with a gun and he knows nothing of morality or respect for the power he has, and if he only learns only the value of money, you get an armed robber." Quote by L. Pache
Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
