Quote by Hermann Hesse

The truth is lived, not taught.

The truth is lived, not taught.

Summary

This quote sends the message that knowledge alone is not enough. Simply teaching or sharing information is not as valuable as experiencing and embodying the truth in one's own life. True understanding and wisdom can only be achieved through personal experiences, challenges, and growth. It suggests that the essence of truth lies in actively living and applying it in our actions, thoughts, and relationships. It emphasizes the importance of practicality and experiential learning, rather than relying solely on theoretical or intellectual understanding.
