Out of all the treasures of heaven and earth

There is no treasure that I have found

To be more worthless than Knowledge



I have searched the earth far and wide

For all the knowledge that can be found

And I have found it worthless



It fills my soul with yearning

But delivers no satisfaction



It is like unto a stream of water

It is sweet unto those who lack it

But bitter to the stomachs of those who have drunken much



I have much knowledge

But it has not made me a penny richer



I have much knowledge

But I am still ignorant



Wisdom is the child of knowledge

I have found it worthless
