Summary

This quote emphasizes the value of both knowledge and judgment. While knowledge is seen as a precious treasure, it is judgment that acts as the custodian or treasurer. It implies that while accumulating knowledge is important, it is the ability to make sound judgments and decisions based on that knowledge that truly defines wisdom. In other words, knowledge alone is not enough; one must also possess the skills to apply that knowledge effectively in order to truly be considered wise.

It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.
