I'll take a stab at it: This seems to mean that it is a high order of knowledge to have a sense of the limits of one's knowledge. Being 'smart' and 'informed' or 'savvy' is great, but being aware of one's areas of ignorance, limits of skill and areas of doubt is a very important kind of knowledge indeed. People can be glib and persuasive, skilfully using rhetoric and half-backed information to get others to believe them. The wiser, scarier and much more costly approach is to be willing to shed light on ignorance, even if it is our own. No one finds this easy; few develop it as a strength.

What does the saying the fool doth thinks he is wise but the wise man knows himself to be a fool?

This comes from Shakespeare's As You Like It and means that a fool is foolish because he doesn't know about what he is ignorant of whereas the wise man, however knowledgeable, is well aware of the far greater expanse of knowledge about which he is ignorant.>>>>>>>Meaning One who knows and knows that he knows... His horse of wisdom will reach the skies. One who knows, but doesn't know that he knows... He is fast asleep, so you should wake him up! One who doesn't know, but knows that he doesn't know... His limping mule will eventually get him home. One who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know... He will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion!
