Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of practical wisdom in life. It suggests that merely possessing knowledge from books or information sources is insufficient if one cannot effectively apply it in real-life situations. The quote implies that common sense, the ability to reason and make sensible decisions, is a valuable skill that surpasses mere memorization of facts. It implies that without the ability to use knowledge in social interactions and everyday events, the value of that knowledge is diminished, likening those who cannot apply their knowledge to those who have none at all.
