Quote

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.

One who cannot live in harmony with others is regarded as an ignorant fool, even if he happens to be very learned in various matters.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.

Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.

He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads.

There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciples.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
