“Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped”
— Elbert Hubbard
Simplified Meaning:
Being smart has its limits because even very intelligent people can't know everything or solve every problem. However, when people are foolish, they can make endless mistakes and cause unlimited trouble because there are no boundaries to ignorance. Think about a child who doesn't know not to touch a hot stove; they might keep getting burned over and over because they don't understand the danger. Similarly, someone who acts without thinking or refuses to learn can keep making bad choices without recognizing their mistakes. For example, in history, when leaders made uninformed decisions without listening to their advisors, their whole country could suffer. To avoid this, it's important to be open to learning and listening to others so we don't fall into the trap of making the same mistakes countless times.
