About this Quote

This quote by Jimi Hendrix speaks to the importance of wisdom over knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and information, while wisdom is the ability to use that knowledge in a meaningful way. Knowledge speaks, meaning it is easily shared and communicated, but wisdom listens. Listening is an important part of gaining wisdom, as it involves taking in information and understanding it in a deeper way. Listening also involves being open to new ideas and perspectives, which can help us to gain a better understanding of the world around us. Wisdom is not something that can be acquired quickly, but rather something that is gained through experience and reflection. By listening to others and being open to new ideas, we can gain a greater understanding of the world and use that knowledge to make better decisions.
