Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of tact in the process of learning and acquiring knowledge. It suggests that having tact enables individuals to understand when it is necessary to remain silent and observe, rather than incessantly questioning. By practicing tact, one can effectively navigate social situations and conversations, creating an environment conducive to learning. In contrast, those who lack tact and continuously inquire without discernment may struggle to absorb new information or gain deeper insights. Therefore, tact becomes an integral quality in the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.
