Primitive Christianity Revived, Again

Two heads are better than one

In 1390, John Gower wrote an extended work on the seven deadly sins, Confessio Amantis, which contains the phrase, "and tuo han more wit then on." I believe in the truth of this phrase and put that belief into practice. Not only was this book formally edited, I shared my early drafts with anyone who would read them.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-11
Two are better than one,
because they have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help.
Again, if two lie together, they keep warm;
but how can one keep warm alone?

John Gower must have read the Bible rather than Solomon reading Gower considering the almost 2000-year lapse in time. Put simply: they agree. A sober second opinion is never a bad idea!

Instead of one head--

I've got two

and you know two heads are better than one."
