Summary

This quote suggests that while knowledge involves accumulating a large amount of information or facts, wisdom lies in the ability to simplify and distill this knowledge into its essence. It implies that wisdom is not necessarily about how much one knows, but rather about how effectively one can make sense of and apply that knowledge. By simplifying complex ideas, wisdom allows for a deeper understanding and the ability to communicate and make decisions more effectively.

The shouts of wonder and delight with wich the development of every package was received! The terrible announcement that the baby had been taken in the act of putting a doll's frying-pan into his mouth, and was more than suspected of having swallowed a fictitious turkey, glued on a wooden platter! The immense relief of finding this false alarm! The joy, and gratitude, and ecstasy! They are indescribable alike. It is enough that by degrees the children and their emotions got out of the parlor, and by one stair at a time up to the top of the house; where they went to bed, and so subsided.

I tell students that even if they don't like math right now, they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool - a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career, but that also builds self-confidence, no matter what they choose to do with their lives.
