'One cannot love and be wise' có từ wise là khôn ngoan, kinh nghiệm, vì thế 'one cannot love and be wise' có nghĩa là con người thường yêu ai đó không hợp với mình hoặc có những hành động dại dột khi yêu.

Ví dụ
My son and his girlfriend have decided to get married in the spring. I don't think that's wise, since they won't have enough money saved by then to set up house. But then, one cannot love and be wise.
Maybe passion is always a mistake: Yet who can love and then be wise?

Xin lưu ý

Two days ago, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee trumpeted the $50 million for affordable housing he added to his budget proposal, calling the current housing shortage “a genuine crisis.” Yesterday voters went to the ballot box and handily approved a measure to make it much harder to build along 7.5 miles of the city’s waterfront, a move that Vox’s Matthew Yglesias bluntly summarized as: “San Francisco has a love-hate relationship with affordable housing.”
