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.

Anyone who has the temerity to write about Jane Austen is aware of [two] facts: first, that of all great writers she is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness; second, that there are twenty-five elderly gentlemen living in the neighbourhood of London who resent any slight upon her genius as if it were an insult to the chastity of their aunts.

Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.
