What he hath scanted men in hair, he hath given them in wit

Summary

This quote suggests that while some men may lack physical attributes, such as hair, they compensate with intelligence or wit. It implies that individuals who may be deficient in one aspect often possess strengths in others. It speaks to the idea that physical appearance is not the sole measure of one's worth, and that qualities of the mind can be more significant and valuable than outward appearance.
