"يمكننا أن نكون على دراية بمعرفة الآخرين ولكن لا يمكننا أن نكون حكماء بحكمة الآخرين."

Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:

You can learn facts and information from what other people have discovered, but true wisdom comes from your own experiences and reflections. For example, you can read a book about how to drive a car and someone can teach you all the rules, but actually driving the car and making decisions on the road is something you need to do yourself. Wisdom is more about knowing how to use knowledge in real-life situations, which only happens when you face challenges and figure out the best way through them on your own. So, while learning from others is important, applying what you learn and finding your own way is what truly makes you wise. Therefore, you should take advice and learn from others but remember that your own experiences and insights are what will guide you best in life.
