“Knowledge without justice ought to be called cunning rather than wisdom.”
— Plato

Simplified Meaning:
If someone knows a lot but doesn't use that knowledge to do good things, it's more like being sneaky than being truly wise. For instance, imagine a person who is very smart and understands how to make lots of money but does it by cheating others. This person isn't really wise because true wisdom means using what you know to help people and to act fairly. Being truly wise isn't just about having information or being clever; it's about making the world better and treating people justly with what you know. So, if you want to be wise, use your knowledge to do good things and to be fair with others.
