Many a so-called wise saying has one or several quite opposite ones to complement it, and other and similar sayings to link up to, as the case may be. Further, it is not the reputation of the quoted persons that makes sayings eminent, but the hidden, masked or plain truths of them. Such things may be detected through fair study and interpretation, for example. But still: "The most effective teachers embody the teaching they give out." [Maharishi] |
