"L'intégrité sans la connaissance est faible et inutile et la connaissance sans l'intégrité est dangereuse et redoutable."
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
Doing the right thing but not knowing much makes it hard to have an impact, and knowing a lot but not doing the right thing can cause harm. Imagine a person who wants to help others but doesn't understand how to do it properly; their efforts might not make a difference. On the other hand, if a smart person uses their intelligence in a bad way, they can hurt people. Think of a doctor: if they are kind and honest but don't have medical knowledge, they can't really help sick people. But if a doctor is very skilled but corrupt, they might hurt patients for their own benefit. In life, it's important to be both good-hearted and well-informed. This way, you can help others effectively and safely.
