Things that change
how we see the world.
Things that challenge us.
Things that build
our character.
Polonius.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade.
Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.

Hold tight to the friends you've tested and found true. Bind them to your soul with hoops of steel. But don't waste your time on every new acquaintance you meet. Stay out of fights, but if you're in one, make sure your opponent fears you. Listen to everyone, but confide in few. Consider everyone's opinion, but reserve your own judgment.
THE PASSAGE YOU’RE READING“for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows; I neither know nor think that I know.”

The question why he was now going to agitated him even more than he was himself aware; he kept uneasily seeking for some sinister significance in this apparently ordinary action.
Razumihin is Raskolnikov’s friend from university. You may see his name written as Razumikhin in other translations.
Socrates was questioning people who were considered wise.
You asked whether recognising what we don’t know is itself a kind of wisdom.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.
1“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
