Anyone is measured by what they do, rather than what they…
““Anyone is measured by what they do, rather than what they say. The background of a person or the books such person has acquired do not say anything about the value such individual possesses. If you cannot value anyone by what they show you, if you do not possess the courage to see beyond the illusion, you are as ignorant as the ones that claim not to be. Both the one that seeks the light and the one that claims to have it share the same darkness.””
