Attention to the root.

Painting is from Almeida Júnior’s depiction of Jesus’ baptism

The wise man looks to his elders and forefathers to learn. The ancestor of all the ancestors of human beings is God.

The wise student listens to his teacher. The teacher of all human teachers is God.

The good citizen obeys the law. The authority behind all human law is God and His law.

Behind every power and wisdom, God is the source. It is to this root that the good man must direct his attention, and it is from this root that all goodness and Truth come forth.

All Glory to God
