"When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion"

This quote by Herbert Spencer is a reminder that understanding is just useful when it is arranged and comprehended. Having a great deal of knowledge without understanding how all of it fits together can result in confusion and poor organization. It is important to make the effort to understand the knowledge we have and how it all interact. Without this understanding, the more understanding we have, the more baffled we will become. This quote encourages us to make the effort to organize and understand our understanding, so that we can use it to our advantage. It is only when our understanding is in order that we can maximize it.
