Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own.
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.
You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.
For a tear is quickly dried, especially when shed for the misfortunes of others.
Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.
Emile M. Cioran
If we could see ourselves as others see us, we would vanish on the spot.
Anyone who speaks in the name of others is always an imposter.
We interest others by the misfortune we spread around us.
