“The wise man can never be offended. If the comment mirrors a truth, or an aspect thereof, there can be no offense whatsoever. To the contrary, such thing will be welcomed with delight! And even if a discourteous person attacks the wise man with lies and profane language, either because of malice or because of ignorance, there is absolutely no reason for the wise man to be disturbed. Understanding and compassion for this unfortunate fellowman will be his most probable response.” — Giannis Delimitsos
