20262 | Don't use wisdom in order to become clever! [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: One ought not to use one's wisdom to become clever! | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Dawn (Daybreak) [1881], 308) | |
A reaction: And I would add 'don't think that being clever makes you wise'. Nietzsche, as always, is subtler than me (which is why I read him a lot). Presumably wisdom is broad, and cleverness is focused. Will becoming clever spoil someone's wisdom? |
