What would have been the fate of sages if there were no fool

Summary

This quote ponders the interconnectedness of wisdom and foolishness. It suggests that "sages," or wise individuals, rely on the existence of "fools" to recognize and appreciate their own wisdom. Without foolishness to contrast against, the value and significance of wisdom would diminish. Thus, the quote raises the question of how wisdom would be perceived and what role fools play in shaping our understanding and appreciation of wisdom.
