Seneca on Sharing Knowledge

“I am glad to learn in order that I may teach.  Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself.  And if wisdom were given me under the express condition that it must  be kept hidden and not uttered, I should refuse it.  No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.”

Seneca, Epistles 1-65, Epistle VI.  ”On Sharing Knowledge” pg. 27.
