About This Quote
It is one thing to be clever and another to be wise. This quote is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it’s true that someone who is clever can easily be defeated if they don’t apply wisdom. On the other hand, if you are wise you can’t lose even if you aren’t clever.
The idea of being smart without wisdom is really hard. We all know people who are clever at solving problems but their lack of wisdom and insight often makes them unreliable and unreliable people. They lack the ability to make the right decisions and make them wrong decisions frequently.
This quote is a reminder to use our intelligence wisely and not to be too smart for our own good.
