Ich habe mich irgendwo mit dem Epitaph eines wohltätigen Mannes getroffen, der mich sehr gefreut hat. Ich kann mich nicht an die Worte erinnern, aber hier ist der Sinn: 'Was ich ausgegeben habe, habe ich verloren; was ich besaß, bleibt anderen überlassen; was ich verschenkt habe, bleibt bei mir. '

What's an expert? I read somewhere, that the more a man knows, the more he knows, he doesn't know. So I suppose one definition of an expert would be someone who doesn't admit out loud that he knows enough about a subject to know he doesn't really know how much.
