Quote by Samuel Johnson

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowled

Summary

This quote suggests that integrity and knowledge are both necessary, but alone, each is incomplete. Integrity without knowledge lacks the substance and understanding to make informed choices, rendering it weak and ineffective. On the other hand, knowledge without integrity can be potentially harmful, as it lacks the moral compass needed to guide decisions and actions ethically. Thus, when both integrity and knowledge are combined, they create a powerful force, allowing individuals to make wise, responsible, and principled choices.

I don't believe in it. All writing is difficult. The most you can hope for is a day when it goes reasonably easily.
