Quote by Herbie Hancock

You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom.

You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice

Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge can be acquired through practice and learning, but wisdom is not something that can be achieved solely through practice. While knowledge comes from information and facts, wisdom involves applying knowledge to make good judgments and decisions. It signifies a deeper understanding of the world and oneself, often gained through experience and reflection. Unlike knowledge, wisdom cannot be acquired simply by putting in effort or dedicating time to practice; it requires a deeper level of insight and awareness.

I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.
