About This Quote

This quote is a misquote of a line from the Greek poet Archilochus, who actually said “better to be a slave than a king.” The idea is that being wise and foolish both have their own sort of wisdom, but the wise person knows that the foolish person has wisdom as well. In this way, both can learn from each other. The wise person knows that he or she has been stupid in the past and knows to learn from it. As for the fool, he or she can learn from those who are wiser.
