By the later 23rd century, Kagan's Law of First Contact was a well-known piece of wisdom from Kagan regarding first contact with new races and cultures that stated, "You'll surprise you more than they will." This Law was invoked as an explanation for the exploits of the crew of the USS Enterprise as they visited Sivao for the first time in the late 2260s. (TOS novel: Uhura's Song)
