Quote by Proverb

Wisdom is a comb given to a man once he is bald.

Wisdom is a comb given to a man once he is bald.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom is something that one acquires with age and experience. Just as baldness often comes with age, wisdom is seen as a gift that is bestowed upon individuals as they grow older and gain a deeper understanding of life. It implies that wisdom is not easily attained, but rather a result of life's trials and tribulations. The analogy of a comb given to a bald man signifies that wisdom is a valuable attribute, sought after by many, and often appreciated more when one has experienced the challenges and setbacks of life.
