"The man who has everything figured out is probably a fool"

- Jerome Lawrence

About this Quote

This quote by Jerome Lawrence recommends that having all the responses to life's questions is not necessarily a sign of intelligence. Instead, it suggests that someone who thinks they have all the answers is most likely to be misguided and naive. This is due to the fact that life is full of intricacies and uncertainties, and no one can genuinely know all the answers. It is very important to stay unbiased and humble, and to recognize that there is constantly more to discover. It is likewise crucial to be going to accept that there are some things that can not be figured out. This quote works as a reminder that it is better to be wise and humble than to be silly and arrogant.
