When I was in elementary school, (over half a century ago) it was touted as a "Chinese proverb". [It's probably an English teacher's creation, anyway, though!]

The way I learned it was: "He who knows not and knows not that he knows not-he is a child. Teach him! He who knows, but knows not that he knows, he is asleep-Wake him! He who knows and knows that he knows, he is a wise man-Seek him!" There are many other versions out there, however!
