Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2007Find a proverb
It says something like : it is not important what we learn. It is important what we learn may not be as true as it is. > It says something like : it is not important what we learn. It is > important what we learn may not be as true as it is. I find the question hard to understand. Did you mean "... as true as it seems"? As it stands, maybe "The fool sees not the same tree that the wise man sees (another Blake Proverb of Hell)." Can we ask why you are trying to find proverbs in this way? Are you looking for the equivalents of Chinese proverbs? If so, it would be interesting to see how the originals are worded, in translation. Perhaps you are thinking of Mark Twain's "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Paul Brians > It says something like : it is not important what we learn. It is important > what we learn may not be as true as it is. Yes, I was looking for this one. But, do we have more proverbs which have the same meaning as this one. Thanks, > Perhaps you are thinking of Mark Twain's "It ain't what you don't > know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> important >> what we learn may not be as true as it is. |
