Isabel Burton died today – 112 years ago

Author (of “The Inner Life of Syria, Palestine, and the Holy Land” (1875)) Isabel Burton was born as Isabel Arundell on March 20, 1831 in London, England. She said, “He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool—shun him. He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple—teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep—wake him. He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise—follow him." [Wow!]... Ms. Burton died on March 21, 1896.
