Summary

This quote, often attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, suggests that true wisdom lies in recognizing the limits of our knowledge. It implies that those who believe they know everything are actually the ones lacking true understanding. By acknowledging the vastness of accumulated knowledge and the ongoing pursuit of learning, one can start on the path to genuine wisdom and intellectual growth. This quote humbles us, reminding us that there is always more to discover and that true knowledge begins with admitting our own ignorance.
