Quote by George Eliot
More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple pity that will not forsake us
Summary
This quote suggests that all the knowledge and wisdom in the world can pale in comparison to the power of experiencing genuine empathy and compassion. It implies that a single act of showing sympathy and understanding can have a greater, more positive impact than any amount of intellect or expertise. True pity and empathy, when bestowed upon someone, have the ability to provide comfort and support that remains unwavering, unlike wisdom which might come and go.
