Summary

This quote suggests that having natural talents and abilities is often more advantageous than just having education and knowledge. While education can provide valuable skills, this alone may not be enough to attain success or virtuous accomplishments.

This emphasizes the significance of acknowledging and nurturing one's innate abilities to achieve greatness rather than relying solely on education.
