"More Helpful that all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us."

What that quotation is basically saying is that you can know everything in the world, but that if you cannot be compassionette and empathetic towards others, then that knowlege is wasted because knowledge is not what makes us human. Being a caring person is more important than being smart, and maybe being caring and socially able is another, more important kind of intelligence.
I don't know if I fully agree with the quote, but that's what it means.

Sometimes we don't need answers or wisdom, we don't need to know why something happened, rather we need the security of knowing someone cares that we are hurting and that they will not leave us.
