Summary

This quote, often attributed to Socrates, suggests that true wisdom lies in understanding the limits of our knowledge. It emphasizes the importance of humility and recognizing that our knowledge is always limited and there is much we do not know.

It serves as a reminder that intellectual growth and wisdom come from embracing the idea that there is always more to discover and understand.
