Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of actively engaging one's intellect in acquiring knowledge rather than relying solely on rote memorization. True knowledge is achieved through the process of comprehension, analysis, and critical thinking.

Valid knowledge comes from the inquisitive mind, personal exploration, and the application of reasoning skills to comprehend and interpret information.
