Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between knowledge and wisdom. While knowledge is the accumulation of facts, wisdom goes beyond simply knowing information. Wisdom involves understanding and simplifying those facts, extracting their essence and principles. It implies the ability to discern what is important and to apply that knowledge effectively in various situations. The quote suggests that wisdom arises when we are able to make sense of the vast amount of knowledge we acquire, distilling it into its most valuable and practical form.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
