Summary

This quote suggests that the wisdom of individuals is not solely determined by the extent of their experiences, but rather by their ability to comprehend and process those experiences effectively. It implies that someone with a limited range of experiences can still possess a great depth of wisdom if they possess a keen capacity for learning from those experiences. In other words, it is not the quantity of experiences that matters, but the quality of understanding and reflection that one can glean from them.
