Do not sell wisdom, instruction, and understanding

Do not sell wisdom, instruction, and understanding

Give your wisdom and knowledge to others without any intention of profit.

("Buy the truth, and do not sell wisdom, instruction, and understanding." - Proverbs 23:23; and similarly: "And how do we know that if he cannot find it for free, he may learn for pay? Scripture says: 'Buy the truth.' And how do we know that he should not say: 'Just as I learned for pay, so will I teach for pay?' Scripture says: 'Buy the truth and do not sell.' - Tractate Bikkurim 49a)
