Be not too hasty
to trust or admire the teachers of morality;
they discourse like angels
but they live like men.
-Samuel Johnson, lexicographer
(1709-1784)
Unfortunately that is true of all of us.
Yet listening to moral leaders can help.
That is why we are supposed to test the spirits.
Talk about what they say and see if its true.
Wise as foxes and harmless as doves are we to be.

My dad said "see how a man lives to see if his word is good."
I always find it so interesting that a quote made centuries ago can be so relevant, today. Goes with my theory that though the world around people changes, people within the world remain the same.
