AELW 3:67
"There is an old saying: Do not talk about anything you do not know well. Our age has produced very many examples; for many very learned and eloquent men are inordinately awkward and silly because they speak about things they do not understand.
Every time Erasmus, a marvelously learned and eloquent man, begins to speak about justification and matters of faith, he stammers most wretchedly and talks like a fool. When he discusses other matters, he reveals a very high degree of ability"

Oh how true this is in our society today. The blessed Martin sure knows how to say what's on his mind - eloquently and with the knowledge required to say it.
