Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's.

Summary

This quote suggests that the wise rely on reason and logic to make decisions and navigate life, while fools learn from their mistakes, mainly through the examples set by others.

Ultimately, reason leads to sound judgment and wisdom, while example teaches the fool through trial and error.
