we cannot satisfy a blockhead...

अज्ञः सुखमाराध्यः सुखतरमाराध्यते विशेषज्ञः

ज्ञानलवदुर्विदग्दम् ब्रह्मापि नरं न रञ्जयति॥

भर्त्रुहरेः नीतिशतके श्लोकः ३

ajñaḥ sukhamārādhyaḥ sukhataramārādhyate viśeṣajñaḥ

jñānalavadurvidagdam brahmāpi naraṁ na rañjayati||

bhartruhareḥ nītiśatake ślokaḥ 3

A gem from the philosopher poet. Bhartuhari..

It is easy to please a relatively ignorant person..

It is not at all difficult to convince an expert...

But even the Creator himself will find it impossible to satisfy a person who deludes himself to be very learned when his knowledge is in fact very llittle.
