“The essential thing is not knowledge, but character”

-Joseph Le Conte

What this quote is saying is that knowledge doesn’t make a person good. What makes a person good is his/her character. You could be the smartest person in the world but also be the biggest jerk ever. Just because you’re the smartest doesn’t mean you’re the best. A person will always be judged on his/her character not by the amount of knowledge they have.
