"La prudencia no es más que experiencia, que el tiempo en igualdad otorga por igual a todos los hombres en aquellas cosas a las que se aplican por igual."
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
When people spend the same amount of time doing an activity, they gain similar levels of wisdom about it. This means that experience is gained by consistently working on something. For example, if two people both spend years practicing piano, they will likely become equally skilled at playing. This idea teaches that dedication and time lead to knowledge and understanding. If someone wants to be good at something, like cooking or painting, they should spend a lot of time practicing it. Everyone has the same chance to become wise in any field if they put in the effort and time.
