Not even now.

Yes, I have found a man who is more that I ever hoped for and yes, I

feet of clay but in their humanity, weren’t their errors in judgment
right in line with who they were at the moment?

Once upon a time — 

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.  

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students…?”  

“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied. “Before you tell me, I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Test of Three.”
