"La prudencia no es más que experiencia, que el tiempo en igualdad otorga por igual a todos los hombres en aquellas cosas a las que se aplican por igual."

Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:

When people take the time to learn and practice something, they get wiser and more careful over time. It doesn't happen instantly, but everyone who spends enough time working on something gets better at it. For instance, think of learning how to cook. At first, someone might burn food or make it too salty. However, with more experience and practice, that person learns the right amount of salt and the proper cooking times. As they continue to cook, they become more skilled and careful. This idea applies to any activity. Whether you're learning a new language, playing a sport, or even managing money, the more you practice, the more experienced and prudent you become. So, if you dedicate time to something, you can become wise and careful in that area, just like everyone else who puts in the same effort.
