Simplified Meaning:
If you use what you know to do things that are unfair or hurtful, people won't think of you as wise—they'll think you're sneaky. Imagine a smart student who cheats during an exam. They may get the highest score, but everyone knows they didn't achieve it honestly. Their cleverness isn't respected because it lacks fairness and integrity. True wisdom involves using your knowledge to do the right thing and help others. If you always aim to be fair and just, people will appreciate and look up to you. This quote teaches us that wisdom isn't just about being smart; it's about being good-hearted and making choices that are fair to everyone.
