All men are dead, alive are only the ones who are knowledgeable .
But, knowledgeable are sleeping, awake are the ones who apply their knowledge.
Still, who apply their knowledge are at a loss, and only succesful are those, who are of good character.
Those of good character are in danger, succesful ones are those who are humble, and free of pride.
(Imam Ghazali ( 1058-1111), and sorry for poor translation rendering)
