Regard the wisdom of his words, and you will learn much.

Isn't all wisdom invisible until you discover the truth of it for yourself?

Is that any easier than discovering the truth of it for someone else?

Isn't the path to true wisdom opening our eyes to our own truths?

Wouldn't they fall off if you tipped their world upside-down?
