Worldly Wisdom Poem by Theognis of Megara
Worldly Wisdom
The worldly-minded and the worldly wise,
In ignorance and arrogance, despise
All talents and attainments but their own;
Wisdom is their's, they think-and their's alone.
But no! the lessons of deceit and wrong,
In point of fact, are neither hard nor long:
And many know them; but a better will,
Prohibits some from practicing their skill
Some have a taste for good, and some for ill.
