No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. — He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

Ben Jonson (1572-1637) English playwright and poet
(Attributed)

Attributed in Tryon Edwards, A Dictionary of Thoughts (1891 ed.).
