And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples , but only the semblance of wisdom, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much while for the most part they know nothing . And as men filled not with wisdom but with the conceit of wisdom they will be a burden to their fellows. "
