Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of humility and self-awareness in the pursuit of wisdom. It suggests that an individual becomes wise by seeking knowledge and understanding, recognizing their own limitations. However, considering oneself to have fully achieved wisdom is foolish, as it implies a false sense of superiority and closes the mind to the continuous process of learning and growth. True wisdom lies in acknowledging that there is always more to learn and remaining open to new perspectives and insights.
