Quote by Sophocles
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of practical solutions over mere knowledge or advice. It suggests that while wisdom may be valuable, fulfilling one's immediate needs or desires is often more important and satisfying. Offering someone wisdom without addressing their immediate or tangible needs, such as thirst, may not provide the same level of satisfaction or fulfillment as providing a tangible solution. Ultimately, actions speak louder than words, and practical assistance tends to have a greater impact than intellectual insights alone.
