->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.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

->Ozpin leaned back and took a long drink, sighing contentedly. "But how about you? Are you happy?"\\
Jaune blinked. "Why wouldn't I be?"\\
"No one will recognise the work you put into this. Few will know a deal was ever made, or how close we came to disaster, but even among those who do, it will be myself and Cinder who take the credit for what was decided. What was averted. Your involvement, despite how important it was, will likely never be recognised. Are you content with that?"\\
"I am."

->As for [[ComicBook/TheSandman Destiny]], he is said to keep his own counsel and to be very busy, and is seen by only a few persons throughout eternity. Only the Endless saw him more than Franchise/{{Superman}}. But he would probably assure you that many lessons were learned from the day two men would never forget, though they mentioned them to none.\\
And perhaps among the two greatest lessons were these:\\
That one of those men knew what it was like not to walk, but that someday, all such men might walk again.\\
And that the other believed indeed that somewhere, in a world he would never reach again, a man could truly fly.
