About this Quote

This quote by Plato talks to the concept that our knowledge and understanding of the world is restricted. He suggests that what we know is just a small portion of what is really out there. This is an essential pointer that we need to constantly make every effort to learn more and never be contented with our current level of understanding. It is also a reminder that we must be humble and acknowledge that there is still much to learn. We ought to never assume that we know whatever and should constantly be open to new ideas and point of views. This quote encourages us to be curious and to never stop learning. It is a suggestion that knowledge is power which we need to never stop aiming to acquire more.
