Quote by Josh Billings

Wisdom has never made a bigot, but learning has.


Wisdom has never made a bigot, but learning has.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom does not lead to becoming a hateful, narrow-minded person, but rather, it is ignorance and lack of understanding that often breed bigotry and prejudice. It implies that true wisdom is associated with open-mindedness, compassion, and the ability to see beyond superficial differences. On the other hand, the acquisition of knowledge or facts without wisdom and perspective can contribute to a person becoming closed off and intolerant of those who are different from them.
