Name
Though my username is clearly a play on a well-know template,{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}} it in no way implies that I have any disregard for WP:RS or WP:NOTE (quite the opposite). My aim was to come up with a slightly tongue-in-cheek Wikipedia-adjacent name, and honestly I was surprised by the fact that it wasn't already taken.

Quote
= {{H:title|On languages:|The original quote is "Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen", which is probably best translated as "He who knows nothing of foreign languages knows nothing of his own". The phrasing of the liberal translation below is taken from Friedrich Max Müller's similar quotation about religions: "On religions: he who knows one, knows none", and I've used it here because it's got a better ring to it, and the sense is preserved.}} =
"{{H:title|He|The generic masculine is retained here because it's a closer translation, but also because to change it to "they" or "one" would introduce an ambiguity of number and a grating repetition respectively, which I feel would detract from the simplicity of the quote.}} who knows one, know none."
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maximen und Reflexionen
