Knowledge and Character

“As dangerous as a little knowledge is, even more dangerous is much knowledge without a strong, principled character. Purely intellectual development without commensurate internal character development makes as much sense as putting a high-powered sports car in the hands of a teenager who is high on drugs. Yet all too often in the academic world, that is exactly what we do by not focusing on the character development of young people.”

Stephen Covey – from his book Principle-Centered Leadership
