Great doubts deep wisdom. Small doubts little wisdom.

Summary

This quote suggests that having significant doubts or questioning things extensively indicates a strong level of wisdom. It implies that deeper doubts lead to a greater understanding and knowledge, harnessing a person's ability to critically think and analyze. On the other hand, if doubts are minor and quickly dismissed, the wisdom gained will be limited. In essence, the quote underscores the idea that the magnitude and depth of one's doubts directly influence the level of wisdom attained through introspection and inquiry.
