“Beware the man of a single book.”
— Thomas Aquinas

Simplified Meaning:
Be careful around a person who only relies on one book for their knowledge. This person may think they know everything just because they have read one book or learned from a single source. It’s like a chef who only knows how to cook one dish and thinks they are an expert in all types of cooking. In reality, there are many different recipes and skills to learn in the culinary world, just like there are many different ideas and perspectives in life. When you learn from many sources, you get a better understanding of the world. So, don't trust advice from someone who hasn't explored different viewpoints, because their knowledge is narrow and limited.
