"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the
brain, and drinking largely sobers us again."
Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) in An Essay on Criticism, 1709
(Greek Mythology: The Pierian Spring, in Macedonia, sacred to the Muses as a
source of inspiration)
A small amount of knowledge may lead
people to believe that they know and are better at something than they
really are.
