Quote by Euripides

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that being clever or intelligent does not necessarily equate to possessing wisdom. While cleverness involves quick thinking, problem-solving abilities, and possessing knowledge, wisdom involves deeper understanding, insight, and the ability to make wise and considered choices. Cleverness may have its merits, but wisdom requires a broader perspective, empathy, and the capacity to navigate complex moral and ethical dilemmas. Therefore, this quote suggests that cleverness alone is insufficient in attaining true wisdom.
