Quote by Paulo Coelho

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom comes from love, while foolishness arises from the belief that love can be fully comprehended. It implies that truly understanding and embracing love requires more than intellectual reasoning or rational thought; it necessitates a deeper connection and emotional capacity. Hence, those who are wise are guided by their ability to love, while fools mistakenly believe they can analyze and comprehend love solely through logic.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open-mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.
