Quote by Thomas Fuller

Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.

Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.

Summary

This quote suggests that enthusiasm or passion without proper understanding or knowledge is useless or even dangerous. It compares zeal to fire, symbolizing energy and intensity, and knowledge to light, symbolizing clarity and guidance. Without knowledge, zeal may lead to misguided actions or incomplete understandings, resulting in negative consequences. Just as fire without light cannot illuminate its surroundings, zeal without knowledge cannot effectively contribute to progress or meaningful change. It emphasizes the importance of combining enthusiasm with proper education and understanding in order to achieve positive and impactful outcomes.
