Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.

Summary

This quote suggests that while knowledge involves the accumulation of facts and information, wisdom goes beyond mere knowledge and involves the ability to discern what is important and apply it appropriately. It indicates that wisdom places limits on knowledge, as knowing too much without the ability to use and understand it effectively can be futile. Wisdom acts as a guide, selecting and shaping the knowledge that is meaningful and beneficial, helping to channel and direct knowledge towards valuable ends.
