I'm still reading Thomas a Kempis, and he's rocking my world:

The more you know and the better you understand, the more severely will you be judged, unless your life is also the more holy. Do not be proud, therefore, because of your learning or skill. Rather, fear because of the talent given you.

I think there's obviously some truth to that - in fact, scripture says something similar (Jas. 3.1). Of course, that's not exactly a comfortable thing for me to read - since it is my ambition to understand everything.
