About Mentorship

This quote has guided me for much of my life:

” . . . [H]is disciple cried impetuously: ‘But I believe in your cause and consider it so strong that I shall say everything, everything that I still have in my mind against it.’

The innovator laughed in his heart and wagged a finger at him. ‘This kind of discipleship,’ he said, ‘is the best; but it is also the most dangerous, and not every kind of doctrine can endure it.'”
