وإنّي من لَذّاتِ دَهري لَقانِعٌ
بِحُلوِ حَديثٍ أو بِمُرِّ عَتيقِ

هُما ما هُما لَم يَبقَ شيءٌ سِواهُما
حَديثُ صَديقٍ أو عتيقُ رَحيقِ

- يزيد بن معاوية

وَلي وَلَهُ إِذا الكاساتُ دارَت
خَفا سِحرٍ يَحُلُّ عُرى الهُمومِ

مُحادِثَةٌ أَلَذُّ مِنَ الحُمَيّا
وَبَثُّ جَوىً أرق مِنَ النَسيمِ

- يزيد بن معاوية

العتيق: هو الخمر

I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men!
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge." Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.

[Ecclesiastes 1:13-18]

وَجَّهْتُ قَلْبِي لِلسُّؤَالِ وَالتَّفْتِيشِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا عُمِلَ تَحْتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ. هُوَ عَنَاءٌ رَدِيءٌ جَعَلَهَ اللهُ لِبَنِي الْبَشَرِ لِيُعْانُوا فِيهِ.
 رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ الأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي عُمِلَتْ تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا الْكُلُّ بَاطِلٌ وَعَبَثٌ لا طَائِلَ مِنهُ:
 اَلأَعْوَجُ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُقَوَّمَ، وَالنَّقْصُ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُجْبَرَ.
 نَاجَيْتُ قَلْبِي قَائِلًا: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ عَظُمْتُ وَازْدَدْتُ حِكْمَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلِي عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقَدْ رَأَى قَلْبِي كَثِيرًا مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ».
 وَوَجَّهْتُ قَلْبِي لِمَعْرِفَةِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَلِمَعْرِفَةِ الْحَمَاقَةِ وَالْجَهْلِ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ هذَا أَيْضًا كانَ هباءً مَنثُورًا؛
لأَنَّ فِي كَثْرَةِ الْحِكْمَةِ كَثْرَةُ الْغَمِّ، وَالَّذِي يَزِيدُ عِلْمًا يَزِيدُ حُزْنًا.

[سِفر الجامعة ١٣:١-١٨]

ذُو العَقلِ يَشقىٰ فِي النَّعيمِ بِعَقلِهِ
وأخو الجَهالةِ في الشَّقاوةِ يَنْعَمُ

- أبو الطيب المتنبي

Italian for "a translator is a traitor"

The way I see it, neurosurgeons are narcissists while nephrologists have an imposter syndrome bcuz they are not neurosurgeons

The law is people, and people is politics, and I can handle a people"

The human brain is too simple to perceive all aspects of reality at once [or at all]. It has to compromise, to pay attention to one thing over the expense of neglecting another. Therefore, all the products of the human mind; all ideas, religions, philosophies, and ideologies have an inherent flaw: they are, by definition, too simple and reductive to represent a good answer to whatever question they claim they can answer.

In this context, true wisdom comes from the ability to see the limitations of wisdom itself.
This could be another interpretation of Socrates famous line: "I am the wisest man in Athens, for I know that I do not know anything"

He does look a bit like Viserys Targaryen😂
