What does the saying the fool doth thinks he is wise but the wise man knows himself to be a fool?

Answer 1

This comes from Shakespeare's As You Like It and means that a fool is foolish because he doesn't know about what he is ignorant of whereas the wise man, however knowledgeable, is well aware of the far greater expanse of knowledge about which he is ignorant.>>>>>>>Meaning One who knows and knows that he knows... His horse of wisdom will reach the skies. One who knows, but doesn't know that he knows... He is fast asleep, so you should wake him up! One who doesn't know, but knows that he doesn't know... His limping mule will eventually get him home. One who doesn't know and doesn't know that he doesn't know... He will be eternally lost in his hopeless oblivion!

Answer 2

This quote from Shakespeare's "As You Like It" suggests that those who are foolish tend to overestimate their own intelligence, while those who are truly wise are aware of their own limitations and constantly seek knowledge. It highlights the importance of humility and self-awareness in gaining true wisdom.
