अज्ञः सुखं आराध्यः सुखतरं आराध्यते विशेषज्ञः ।
ज्ञानलवदुर्विदग्धं ब्रह्मा अपि नरं न रंजयति ॥

ajñaḥ sukham ārādhyaḥ sukhataram ārādhyate viśeṣajñaḥ |
jñāna-lava-durvidagdhaṃ brahmāpi naraṃ na rañjayati ||

It is easy to convince an uneducated person; it is easier to convince an expert. But even God cannot convince a person who has developed false pride by virtue of half-knowledge.

Hitopadesha 4.107
