About This Quote

The fool thinks he thinks a lot, while the wise man thinks he thinks little. People do not realize that it is the amount of their thinking that makes all the difference in life. No matter how smart we think we are, we always make mistakes in life through believing too much. When we believe that we understand everything and know everything, then we will always be making mistakes throughout our lives.
