A pleasant end to a good book

I have just finished reading a collection of short stories called  The Golden Twigs  . I guess you could call them fables of a dark kind . The final story was called The God of Ibreez . This turned out to be a particularly good story  . I came across a quote I thought held a lot of wisdom . The underlined part is very good advice that I shall remember .

" Do you know how I recognise a great man ? He is like a baby . He cries for the moon ; he is single-hearted and simple ; he has that true inner wisdom which life teaches small men to forget ; he builds on trust , because he knows if he allows himself to be suspicious he will have no time for anything else.... "
