"A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it."
Simplified meaning
Books and knowledge are incredibly valuable, much more than money or possessions. Imagine you have a lot of money but don’t know how to use it wisely – it could be wasted or lost. However, if you are knowledgeable and wise, you can make smart decisions that might even help you earn more money and live a better life. Wisdom helps people understand the world, solve problems, and find happiness in ways that material things cannot. For example, reading books can teach you about different cultures, history, and science, which you can't buy with money. So, investing time in learning and gaining wisdom is far more beneficial than just accumulating wealth.
