Chapter 12 verse 11keyword legacy words of the sages are like thorns, and men of assemblies are like driven nails given by one shepherd. What is meant here is that the wise people many times will tell you things that feel like thorns but they're really not what they're doing is they're trying to spur you on rather than just allow you to remain in your comfort zone

— from Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue) · Ecclesiastes by King Solomon

In the book

I have used all three, and I would spare you the bitterest where I can. That is why the words of the wise can sting like thorns: the sting is only ever meant to move you off whatever comfortable spot you've settled into. Hear mine in that spirit. — Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue)
