From Plautus. Indicates that something can be understood without any need for explanation, as long as the listener has enough wisdom or common sense. Often extended to dictum sapienti sat est ("enough has been said for the wise", commonly translated as "a word to the wise is enough").

W oryginale powiedzenie brzmi "dictum sapienti sat (est)" i oznacza "powiedziane mądremu wystarczy" (pol. mądrej głowie dość dwie słowie). Autorem sentencji jest rzymski komediopisarz Plaut.
