Socrates   The above quote reflects a profound insight into the nature of knowledge and wisdom, emphasizing intellectual humility and the limits of human understanding. At its core, this statement captures the idea that wisdom does not come from amassing facts or being certain about everything but from recognizing the vastness of what remains unknown.
