"Il y a une sagesse de la tête et une sagesse du cœur"

Simplified Meaning:
People have different kinds of wisdom. Some wisdom comes from thinking and learning, like when you solve a math problem or make a plan. This can be called "wisdom of the head." Other wisdom comes from your feelings and experiences, like understanding when a friend needs comfort or when to help someone in trouble. This is "wisdom of the heart." Both types of wisdom are important and useful in life. For example, if you're deciding whether to take a new job, your mind can help you figure out if the job pays well and is a good career move, while your heart can tell you if it feels right and makes you happy. Balancing both helps you make better choices.
