Quote by Joseph Joubert

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no fee

Summary

This quote suggests that having a vivid imagination alone is not enough; one must also acquire knowledge and education to truly make use of it. While imagination allows us to dream and envision great things, it is learning and education that provide us with the foundations, tools, and understanding to turn those dreams into reality. Without learning, one's imagination remains limitless and unfocused, lacking the practicality and direction needed to achieve goals. Education provides the "feet" that ground and channel imagination, allowing us to take steps towards actualizing our dreams.
