Quote by Edward Young

The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may seek us, but wisdom must be sought.

The clouds may drop down titles and estates, and wealth may

Summary

This quote suggests that material possessions, such as titles, wealth, and estates, can come to us by chance or circumstance, as if they were "dropped down" from the sky. However, true wisdom cannot be attained in the same way; it requires deliberate effort and active pursuit. The quote highlights the distinction between external wealth and the inner growth and knowledge that can only be acquired through personal exploration and intellectual curiosity.
