    Weisheit ist keine Weisheit, wenn sie nur aus Büchern stammt.

    la sabiduría no es sabiduría cuando se deriva solo de los libros.

    la saggezza non è saggezza quando deriva solo dai libri.

    חוכמה אינה חוכמה כאשר היא נגזרת מספרים בלבד.

    Cum sapientia non est prudentia non est solum ex libris.
