And when you say: “Give me also a share in these gifts which you have found so helpful,” I reply that I am anxious to heap all these privileges upon you, and that 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.
