Teaching is a sacred art. This is why the noblest druid is not the one who conjures fires and smoke but the one who brings the news and passes on the histories. The teacher, the bard, the singer of tales is a freer of men's minds and bodies, especially when he roams without allegiance to one chieftain or another. But he is also a danger to the masters if he insists upon telling the truth. The truth will inevitably cause tremors in those who cling to power without honoring justice.

Knowledge often spoils devotion.

Use words to please, to instruct, to soothe. Then stop speaking.

It is better to listen to a crow that lives in trees than to a learned man who lives only in ideas.

I would live in a world of Christ-like humans, but not one full of Christians, may God forgive me.

It is noble to pity a man who is cruel because he is weak, but it is idiotic and dangerous to allow him to have power.
