“What is whiter than snow?’ he said. ‘The truth,’ said Grania.’What is the best colour?’ said Finn. ‘The colour of childhood,’ said she.’What is hotter than fire?’ ‘The face of a hospitable man when he sees a stranger coming in, and the house empty.”What has a taste more bitter than poison?’ ‘The reproach of an enemy.”What is best for a champion?’ ‘His doings to be high, and his pride to be low.”What is the best of jewels?’ ‘A knife.”What is sharper than a sword?’ ‘The wit of a woman between two men.”What is quicker than the wind?’ said Finn then. ‘A woman’s mind,’ said Grania. And indeed she was telling no lie when she said that.”

“ability is of no value without discipline. Winning has no style or substance without humility.”
— Andrew Critchley

“Relativism poses as humble by saying: “We are not smart enough to know what the truth is—or if there is any universal truth.” It sounds humble. But look carefully at what is happening. It’s like a servant saying: I am not smart enough to know which person here is my master—or if I even have a master. The result is that I don’t have a master and I can be my own master. That is in reality what happens to relativists: In claiming to be too lowly to know the truth, they exalt themselves as supreme arbiter of what they can think and do. This is not humility. This is the essence of pride.”
