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. <br /> <br /> It is better to be an ignorant poor fellow <br /> Then a learned man who is not abstemious; <br /> Because the former loses the way by his blindness <br /> While the latter falls into a well with both eyes open. <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Saadi Shirazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ch-08-on-rules-for-conduct-in-life-maxim-44/
