“Education, n. That which discloses to the wise”

Simplified Meaning:
Education helps smart people see how much they don't know. Think of it like climbing a mountain. As you go higher, you see more of the world, but also realize how far the horizon stretches. For example, a scientist learns many facts, but this learning shows them the vast amount that is still unknown. It's not just about gaining knowledge; it's about understanding there is always more to learn. Applying this to your life, recognize that learning should humble you and make you more curious, not more certain. The smartest people always stay open to new ideas and questions.
