Summary

This quote highlights the transformative power of education. It suggests that education has a dual effect: it reveals knowledge and understanding to those who are wise enough to appreciate and grasp it, while simultaneously concealing the lack of understanding from those who fail to comprehend. In other words, education brings clarity and enlightenment to the receptive and discerning individuals, while masking the ignorance of those who are resistant or incapable of comprehending the knowledge being offered.
