The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts.

Summary

This quote suggests that emotions and knowledge have an inverse relationship. In other words, the more informed an individual is about the facts, the less extreme their emotions tend to be. This can be interpreted to mean that when we lack knowledge or understanding of a situation, we are more likely to be driven by intense emotions. However, as we gain knowledge and become aware of the facts, our emotions may become more tempered and balanced.
