Tao Bible - Job 32:9

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
~ King James version ~

Great men are not always wise.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
This statement is made to Job by Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram.

Here's a case in which this line in the bible could just as easily appear in the Tao Te Ching or Zhuangzi. Wisdom is not born of greatness; it is born of humility.
