You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes.

Maimonides
About This Quote

When you must accept the truth from whatever source it comes, you must do so without seeking to justify or defend your position. You should not spend time justifying why you are right or why the other person is wrong. When you try to explain everything to someone else, it just makes everything worse. When you only seek to explain your reasons for doing something, other people will resent you for assuming that they are incapable of understanding things on their own.
