If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.

-Mark Twain
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
-Akhenation "Akhenation, 14 century Egyptian king"
