"To a fool, wisdom will sound foolish." Euripedes, Bacchae "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
"For fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Distrustful sense with modest caution speaks; It still looks home, and short excursions makes; But rattling nonsense in full volleys breaks; And never shocked, and never turned aside, Bursts out, resistless, with a thundering tide." Alexander Pope, An Essay in Criticism
