Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

Summary

This quote suggests that acquiring knowledge is relatively easy and can happen quickly. However, true wisdom takes time to develop and stays with a person for a long time. It implies that simply gathering information does not guarantee that one will be wise. Wisdom involves deeper understanding, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in a thoughtful and meaningful manner. Unlike knowledge, which can be easily forgotten or outdated, wisdom withstands the test of time and influences one's actions and perspectives in a more lasting way.

This vulgar method, which is now the norm and the standard in much non-Left journalism as well, is designed to have the effect of making any noisy moron into a master analyst.
