Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

The multitude of fools is a protection to the wise.

The multitude of fools is a protection to the wise.

Summary

This quote suggests that the presence of fools acts as a safeguard for the wise individuals. In a society where foolishness or ignorance is prevalent, those who are wise or knowledgeable are more easily able to stand out and be protected. The contrast between the foolish majority and the wise minority allows the latter to be recognized, respected, and possibly exert their influence more effectively. The quote implies that the existence of fools can, paradoxically, be beneficial as it highlights the value and significance of wisdom.
