Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between knowledge and wisdom. While knowledge refers to the accumulation of information and facts, wisdom is the ability to apply that knowledge effectively and judiciously. The quote advises against conflating the two, emphasizing that while knowledge may be useful in practical matters and securing a livelihood, wisdom holds greater significance in shaping a meaningful and fulfilling existence. It suggests that the pursuit of wisdom allows us to make better choices, find deeper purpose, and lead a more fulfilling life rather than merely focusing on material success.
