自知愚昧的愚人,
基于这点是个智者;
自以为是智者的愚人,
才是真正的愚者。

释迦牟尼佛
《法句经 •愚人品•第六十三偈》


The fool who knows that he is a fool can,
for that reason, be a wise man;
but the fool who thinks that he is wise is,
indeed, called a fool.

Śākyamuni Buddha
(Dhammapada: Fools Chapter: Verse 63)


子曰:「由!诲女知之乎?
知之为知之,
不知为不知,是知也。」

《论语•为政第二•第十七章》

The Master said, ‘You! Shall I teach you that on knowing?
With that known as that known,
and that not known as that not known,
this is knowing.’

(Analects: 2nd Chapter: Wéi Zhèng: 17th Section)
