Hermetic Maxims

Posted on 2011-05-05 by Aeneas

It is pointless to repeat something to the intelligent man and it is futile to repeat it to the unwise.

Keep in mind what new fact or idea will necessitate a change in world view.
The Sage, in his wisdom, should not disturb the mind of the ignorant. (quoted in Evola’s Hermetic Tradition).
