A little knowledge is a dangerous thing ... (If you do not know anything about a subject, you will refrain from making judgments about it ... and if you know a lot about a subject, your judgments will be well informed ... but if you only know a little about something, you may feel you are qualified to make judgments when , in fact , you are not)
- When Marcie broke her leg, Robert said he could get her to the hospital safely because he had had a first--aid course. In fact, he didn't know how to deal with broken bones & wound up hurting her badly. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
- After Bill read a book on the history of Venezuela, he felt he was an authority on the subject, but he wound up looking like a fool in discussions with people who knew a lot more about it than he did. A little learning is a dangerous thing
