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.
