You are talking apples and oranges here, Sky. My quote is centered around this statement: "set your heart on a life of Understanding."

Yours is wrapped up in this statement: And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible Knowledge about events,

We may have great knowledge but if we don't have understanding, then that knowledge is usless to us (i.e. the theory of relativity. We all KNOW the theory of relativity, but we don't UNDERSTAND it. That makes the knowledge useless).

Besides, would you argue with the wisdom of Solomon? Knowing you, yeah, you probably would!
