The first step toward greatness is to be honest, says the proverb; but the proverb fails to state the case strong enough. Honesty is not only 'the first step toward greatness,' it is greatness itself.

In general, inquiry ceases when we adopt a theory. After that, we overlook whatever makes against it, and see and think, and talk and write, only in its favor.
