Maimonides

Wikiquote quote of the day:

     When I have a difficult subject before me — when I find the road
narrow, and can see no other way of teaching a well established truth
except by pleasing one intelligent man and displeasing ten thousand
fools — I prefer to address myself to the one man, and to take no
notice whatever of the condemnation of the multitude; I prefer to
extricate that intelligent man from his embarrassment and show him the
cause of his perplexity, so that he may attain perfection and be at
peace.
