    But the greatest error of all is, mistaking the ultimate end of knowledge; for some men covet knowledge out of a natural curiosity and inquisitive temper; some to entertain the mind with variety and delight; some for ornament and reputation ; some for victory and contention ; many for lucre and a livelihood ; and but few for employing the Divine gift of reason to the use and benefit of mankind. Thus some appear to seek in knowledge a couch for a searching spirit; others, a walk for a wandering mind; others, a tower of state; others, a fort, or commandicg ground; and others, a shop for profit or sale, instead of a storehouse for the glory of the Creator and the endowment of human life.—Lord Bacon.
