Fools never know when to quit. Or they rush in
where even angels fear to tread.

"All prisoners were freed from their chains, the doors
opened of their own accord, and the fires of all the
hells were extinguished."
--Buddha, His Teachings, 500 B.C.
"Thoth and the goddess Maat mark out thy course for thee
day by day and every day. Thine enemy the Serpent hath
been given over to the fire. The Serpent-fiend Sebau hath
fallen headlong. The forelegs of prisoners bound in chains
are set free, and their hind legs hath Ra carried away
opening all doors for them. The Sons of Revolt shall never
more rise up." Egypt, 1000 B.C.
Only a Fool knowing nothing of logic and the laws
of coincidence and the fact of synchronicity would
see any logical connection between the way various
people express themselves. Human language is
universal and the truth can be found anywhere.
