The Druid (The Dawning of Muirwood, #1)

by Jeff Wheeler

A pauper could inherit a palace if only they thought and desired it enough. Man has no greater enemy than himself.

“To know nothing is the happiest life.” Knowledge is always a sword with two edges. It cuts away falsehood but reveals hypocrisy.

Man’s mind is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth.

‘We are slow to believe that which, if believed, would hurt our feelings.’

“Do you not think the Medium has tried to persuade the learned, the powerful, and the strong that things need to change? But the learned, the powerful, and the strong won’t change until they have to. The humble, the meek, the patient, the persevering—they are the ones who get things done. Even a simple oak tree can bring down a wall with its roots.”
