For more valuable is the moderation of the confessing spirit than those things which I desired to know.

Image: Peter van Geest AI. Meaning: A hymn to humility in the pursuit of knowledge: it is not the urge to know everything that makes one wise, but the ability to acknowledge what one does not know. Origin: Aurelius Augustinus (Saint Augustine) from his work Confessiones, written circa 397–400 AD.
