“Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.”
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
Love can make people who are usually not very smart act in very clever ways. At the same time, it can make smart people do foolish things. For example, someone who might struggle in school could still show great wisdom in a relationship by being kind and understanding. On the other hand, an intelligent person might take unwise risks for love, like giving up a job to follow someone without thinking it through. This shows that love can teach and bring out the best in anyone, but it can also lead to surprising and sometimes silly decisions, even from those who usually make good choices. It reminds us that love affects everyone differently and that being smart or foolish can depend on the situation.
