Quote by Michel de Montaigne

We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.

We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we can

Summary

This quote suggests that while it is possible for us to acquire knowledge through others, true wisdom cannot be inherited or borrowed. Knowledge can be obtained by learning from others' experiences, education, and insights. However, wisdom is different; it involves a deeper understanding and discernment that comes from personal reflection, critical thinking, and lived experiences. It cannot simply be transferred or acquired by relying on someone else's wisdom. Each individual must cultivate their own wisdom by embracing their unique perspective and learning from their own journey.

I think that nothing is impossible when you want to fulfill a dream. A lot of people will tell you that you can't do it, that you don't have what it takes, but if it is in your heart and you feel it, there is nothing that will stop you. It is like the sun - you can't block it: it will shine regardless, if that is what you want.
