The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is easy to waste time on foolish or unimportant matters, as seen by the ticking of a clock. However, wisdom cannot be quantified by time because it extends beyond mere hours and transcends temporal boundaries. Wisdom is a deeper, more significant insight that cannot be constrained or limited by any measurement tool. It highlights the idea that the value and impact of wisdom cannot be determined by the passing of time and emphasizes its timeless and immeasurable nature.
