Quote

He who doesn't consider himself is seldom considerate of others.

There is small risk a general will be regarded with contempt by those he leads, if, whatever he may have to preach, he shows himself best able to perform.

To test a modest man's modesty do not investigate if he ignores applause, find out if he abides criticism.

He is a very humble man, that thinks not himself better than some others.

He only profits from praise who values criticism.

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest.

Wanted: a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say 'No,' though all the world say 'Yes.'
