In chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby, how does Nick compare Daisy and Jordan?

Both of these answers seem to be correct, but in regards to chapter seven, a quote of Nick's compares them as well - "But there was Jordan beside me, who, unlike Daisy, was too wise ever to carry well-forgotten dreams from age to age". The answers above compare Jordan and Daisy in a similar way, but to compare is to also note the differences. I gather from Nick's quote that he recognizes that Jordan, unlike Daisy, would not let abandoned dreams weigh her down, such as how Daisy's lingering love for Gatsby that had remained for 5 years caused a fall-out between her, Gatsby, and Tom. Jordan, unlike Daisy, is wise enough to avoid that kind of situation.
