Power belongs to him who knows
This is a very old axiom
Knowledge - the first step to which is the power of comprehending the truth
Of discerning the real from the false -
is for those only who, having freed themselves from every prejudice
and conquered their human conceit and selfishness, are ready to
accept every and any truth once it is demonstrated to them
Of such there are very few
The majority judge of a work according to the respective predjudices of its critics
Who are guided in their turn by the popularity or unpopularity of the author
Rather than by its own faults or merits
