Contempt is born in the mind of the inferior man, because his truth excludes all other truths. However, we knew that the truths fit together, so it never occurred to us that we would degrade ourselves if we acknowledged the other's truth, even though ours was a mistake. As far as I know, the apple tree does not look down on the vine, nor the palm tree on the cedar.

Hungarian

"A lebecsülés az alacsonyabbrendű ember agyában születik meg, mert az ő igazsága kizár minden más igazságot. Mi azonban tudtuk, hogy az igazságok megférnek egymással, ezért eszünkbe sem jutott, hogy lealacsonyítjuk magunkat, ha elismerjük a másik igazságát, jóllehet az minálunk tévedés. Az almafa tudtommal nem nézi le a szőlőtövet, sem a pálma a cédrust."
