Quote by Confucius

Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it


Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it

Summary

This quote suggests that merely having knowledge or awareness of the truth does not hold the same value as having a deep admiration and passion for it. The emphasis is on the distinction between knowing something and truly embracing and cherishing it. It implies that an individual who genuinely loves and appreciates the truth demonstrates a heightened sense of wisdom, understanding, and commitment towards it, as compared to someone who merely possesses knowledge without any emotional attachment.
