More From Lewis H. Lapham

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

Woe to him whom this world charms from gospel duty. woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when god has brewed them into a gale. woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. yea, woe to him who, as the great pilot paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.
