Quote by Martin Farquhar Tupper

Memory is not wisdom idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?

Memory is not wisdom idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet

Summary

This quote suggests that simply memorizing and repeating vast amounts of information does not make one wise or intelligent. It implies that true wisdom requires the application of memory to make sense of the information and draw meaningful insights. In essence, wisdom cannot exist without the capacity to remember and reflect upon knowledge. Merely possessing information is not enough to attain wisdom; it is the ability to critically analyze and interpret that information that truly leads to wisdom.
