Summary

This quote highlights a common human trait - the tendency to believe that one is wiser than others, regardless of the acknowledgments given to others' intelligence, eloquence, or knowledge.

This sentiment reflects the inherent confidence or overconfidence individuals have in their own abilities and insights compared to those around them.
