Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.

    Unwissenheit über alle Dinge ist ein Übel, weder schrecklich noch übertrieben, noch das größte von allen; Aber große Klugheit und viel Lernen, wenn sie von einem schlechten Training begleitet werden, sind ein viel größeres Unglück.

    la ignorancia de todas las cosas es un mal ni terrible ni excesivo, ni tampoco el más grande de todos; pero una gran inteligencia y mucho aprendizaje, si van acompañados de un mal entrenamiento, son una desgracia mucho mayor.
