"愚か者には大いに信頼しています 自信と友人はそれを呼ぶでしょう"
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, people who are not very wise or knowledgeable can seem very sure of themselves. This quote is describing how foolish people often have a lot of confidence. They believe in themselves strongly, even when they don’t really know much. For example, think about someone who tries to fix their own car without knowing anything about repairs. They might act very confident, but end up making things worse. The quote suggests that what some people call self-confidence can actually be foolishness. It warns us to be careful about being overly sure of ourselves without real understanding. To apply this, we should balance our confidence with humility and seek knowledge to back up our actions.
