“The plague of man is boasting of his knowledge.”
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
When people brag about how much they know, it can cause problems. Imagine a student in school who always talks about getting good grades and knowing all the answers. This might make other students feel bad or think that they can never be as smart. It can also make the student who brags seem less friendly and approachable. Acting this way can stop us from learning more and understanding that everyone has something to teach. Instead of showing off, it’s better to share what we know in a kind way and stay humble. This helps us build better relationships and keep growing in our knowledge.
