William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

It's often better to be someone who jokes around and makes others laugh, even if they might seem silly, than to be a person who tries to be clever but ends up saying things that don’t make sense. Think of a comedian who might act foolish on stage but has a sharp mind and understands people. This comedian’s silly act brings joy and laughter, and he often makes good points in his jokes. Meanwhile, someone who tries very hard to appear smart but says things without thinking can come across as annoying or unwise. If you keep things light and know when to make jokes, you can bring happiness and thoughtfulness to those around you. At the same time, if you try too hard to be clever without considering how it affects others, you might not be as well-liked or effective in communication.
