"We do not err because truth is difficult to see. It is visible at a glance. We err because this is more comfortable."

Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which if held before the eyes Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and chance. Solemn words, and these are they: "Even this shall pass away."
