Many people claim to be experts. But only a few have the experience to be an expert.
As stated by the Romans in latin:
- Scientia ac labore (knowledge through hard work) and
- experientia docet (experience teaches).
- Quanti est sapere (how desirable is knowledge) and
- scientia ipsa potentia est (knowledge itself is power).
