What a wise man knows, therefore, is how to construct a pattern that, given the human situation, is likely to lead to a good life.

About This Quote

The idea of wisdom is timeless, but it can be applied differently in different cultures. For example, there are some people who believe they already know what’s best for them. They believe that their way of living is the right way to live. But most of us don’t like these people.

They think that they know better than everyone else, and they often act like they’re above everyone else. These people are known as bullies. A person who is wise knows that the circumstances of your life are what will determine your happiness, not what you think you should do to get there.
