About This Quote
Many today are running around with their heads in the clouds. They are talking about ideas, theories, philosophies, and conclusions that are not based on fact or reality. The saying “It is better to drink a wholesome draught of truth from the humble vessel, than poison mixed with honey from a golden goblet” has been used for centuries to illustrate this point. If someone is trying to persuade you to believe something, and you determine it is true and can be proven, then drink it up. But if they’re only telling you what you want to hear and not providing any real information or proof then don’t swallow it whole.
