About this Quote
This quote implies that the understanding and understanding that lives within our physical being is more extensive and important than any of the philosophical concepts we establish in our minds. It suggests that our innate impulses and experiences hold a crucial to real wisdom that can not be discovered simply through intellectual thought.
"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made"
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
