I know my dad used this anytime he was just telling me something he heard from somebody else; but wanted it to seem more important.
I admit - I call every human ignorant; we should be measured in such a way, we are not capable of exceeding these limits without a vast array of technological and social support...
In any event; if a random person said something, and I don't think saying their name means anything... I'll simply say a wise man once said; and, people that know me, know I think there is no such thing as a wise man.
It is a way to make your brain prime itself ... to think the next statement ... is more wise ... than all the others... a wise man once said.
