An idea from Ecclesiastes

Wisdom works like money: useful, protective, but not infinite. Don’t chase virtue so hard you wreck yourself, and don’t excuse your own faults either, because nobody alive gets through a whole life doing only right and never doing wrong. That includes you.

From Ecclesiastes by Qoheleth
