I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know not

Summary

This quote highlights the connection between self-awareness and intelligence. By acknowledging one's lack of knowledge, one demonstrates intelligence by not being falsely confident or claiming to know everything. The realization of our limited understanding allows us to seek knowledge and pursue further learning. Embracing our ignorance is a sign of wisdom and genuine intelligence, as it fosters humility, curiosity, and an open mind to continuously explore and grow.
