About This Quote
If she no longer possesses beauty, then she has something better than beauty-knowledge. Knowledge, in this case, is knowledge of beauty. When someone knows something about something, it is more than just knowing the thing itself. It is knowing when to apply it when it is appropriate and when not to apply it when it is not appropriate.
The ability to pick the right time to use knowledge and the ability to know when to apply it in a situation with imperfections and imperfection-free situations is what makes someone a good leader. If you do not know when to apply knowledge you will be unable to lead others in the right direction.
