Examine what is said, not him who speaks.

Summary

This quote urges us to focus on the content of what is being said rather than getting caught up in the identity or personal biases of the speaker. It encourages us to analyze, critically evaluate, and judge ideas based on their merit alone, rather than dismissing or accepting them based solely on our opinion of the speaker. By separating the message from the messenger, we can avoid falling prey to logical fallacies and give fair consideration to the value and validity of the words being spoken.
