---

Every man has a deep and endless well of truth within himself. Let him cast his pitcher of thought down into it and try to draw up some of its fresh waters. But alas, there is also a pit of mud within him. Most men cast their buckets into this and think that the mud they fetch up is the pure water of truth. The mud is made of his own selfish desires and ignorant prejudices and slavish slothfulnesses.
