know also that there are far more things you know not. Rather than be conceited,† acknowledge your own ignorance. Why will you prefer yourself before another, since there are many more learned, and more skillful in the law than you are? If you will know or learn anything profitably, desire to be unknown and to be esteemed as nothing.  The deepest and the most profitable lesson is this, the true knowledge and contempt of ourselves.  It is great wisdom and high perfection to esteem nothing of ourselves, and to think always well and highly of others. If you should see another openly sin or commit some heinous offense, you ought not to esteem yourself the better; for you know not how long you will be able to remain in good standing.  All of us are frail, but you ought not to think anyone more frail than yourself. •
