The shoemaker should not judge ... (№ 430779)

Ne supra crepidam sutor iudicaret.
Quote Explanation: For the first time, the phrase is found in Pliny the Elder: in the 300s. he recorded the story of a shoemaker who pointed out to the artist a defect in the image of his sandals. He corrected the mistake, and the delighted shoemaker continued to express his opinion on other "defects" of the painting, to which the artist cooled his ardor with this phrase.
