It seems to me that the Wizard is an advocate of the "actions speak louder than words" theory because in accordance with that statement, as long as you are nice and others are satisfied, the intention within you is irrelevant. I would have to agree with the Wizard because i feel like you can only truly become a great man through the opinions of others. One man's actions and compassion cannot be measured internally. There does leave room for the brown nosers and the phonies but men of true heart will emerge through consistent actions. The brown nosers and phonies will eventaully stumble and be revealed for what they are.
