About This Quote

The world is full of questions that have no answers. Unfortunately, those who think they know everything will do all they can to stop those who seek to understand them. In this quote, wisdom is defined as someone who knows what they don’t know. When a person has a genuine desire to learn something new, the wise person will not try to stop him or her from doing so. Instead, they will encourage him or her to stay with it and help guide the learning process along the way.
