Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom

Summary

This quote suggests that genius in its raw form may be brilliant and awe-inspiring, like a sudden flash of lightning. However, wisdom is seen as more enduring and valuable, akin to the constant radiance of the sun. While genius may have limited and sporadic impact, wisdom is regarded as a deeper and more consistent source of understanding. It implies that possessing and applying wisdom in life is ultimately more beneficial and fulfilling than relying solely on momentary bursts of genius.
