A short story

I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me:

"There was once a small city with only a few people in it.  And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it. Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom.  But nobody remembered that poor man. So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength."

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

Solomon in Ecclesiastes 9
