“A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
Our minds need learning and guidance just like a garden needs care to grow plants. Imagine you have a piece of land that is perfect for growing crops. If you don’t plant seeds, water the soil, or remove weeds, nothing good will grow, no matter how rich the soil is. Similarly, if we don’t educate ourselves or seek knowledge, our minds won’t develop new ideas or skills. For example, a talented artist still needs to practice and learn techniques to create beautiful art. To be successful or wise, we should always look for ways to learn and improve through study, experience, and advice from others.
