"Some have—I know some have," his brother said. "The words those others said have left so strong an impress that they seem to weigh us down. Where there is wisdom, real wisdom, there is love, so says the voice within my heart."

"The voice speaks well; if a man hath not love, he hath not wisdom, that is true."

"And man has both—I know he has. We will go forth and search to find in him both love and wisdom; that we may prove him worthy after all, and that the things we heard which left the bitter taste, are not the mark of what is carried in the hearts of all mankind. And on each morning, before the dawn has come, we will meet here and each shall tell the wisest thing that he has heard upon his evening quest. Shall we do this?"

"I know not where to go," his brother said.

"Search then for those who are most loving, for the greatest wisdom comes from those who love the most, so says the voice within my heart."
