Maxim 44

  Transgression by whomsoever committed is blamable but more so in

learned men, because learning is a weapon for combating Satan and,

when the possessor of a weapon is made prisoner, his shame will be

greater.

        It is better to be an ignorant poor fellow

        Then a learned man who is not abstemious;

        Because the former loses the way by his blindness

        While the latter falls into a well with both eyes open.
