One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use

Summary

This quote suggests that it is not enough to simply achieve success or triumph in a situation; it is equally important to understand how to utilize and manage that victory effectively. Knowledge or skills in achieving a goal may not necessarily translate into the ability to effectively apply or capitalize on that success. In other words, this quote underscores the importance of strategic thinking and wisdom in order to make the most productive and beneficial use of any triumph or victory.
