Quote by William Shakespeare
We, ignorant of ourselves,Beg often our own harms, which the wise powersDeny us for our good; so find we profitBy losing of our prayers.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans often unknowingly seek things that may be harmful to them, but the wise powers or higher forces protecting them prevent them from attaining those things for their own benefit. In other words, what we may desire or pray for might actually be detrimental to us. Consequently, by not receiving what we ask for, we ultimately gain and find advantages in the loss or denial of our prayers.
