Quote by Samuel Johnson
As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which he cannot apply will make no man wise.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that possessing something of value, such as gold or knowledge, is meaningless if it is not put to use. In the case of gold, it has no practical benefit if one cannot spend or utilize it for their own benefit. Similarly, knowledge serves no purpose if it is not applied to solve problems, make informed decisions, or benefit oneself and others. True wisdom requires the practical application of knowledge, rather than just mere accumulation of information.
