Summary

This quote suggests that the truthfulness of something does not guarantee its wisdom or rationality. It implies that even though an idea or action may be factually accurate, it could still be unwise or foolish in nature. In other words, being true does not automatically make something a sensible or logical choice. This quote highlights the importance of critically examining not only the truth of something but also its broader implications and consequences before accepting it as a reasonable course of action.
