It is not kindness but pride that often makes us read the teachings of men who have made mistakes; we reproach them not so much to correct them as to convince ourselves of our own infallibility.
"Romanian
"Nu bunătatea, ci mândria ne face adesea să citim învățăturile oamenilor care au săvărșit greșeli; îi dojenim nu atât pentru a-i îndrepta cât pentru a ne convine pe noi înșine de propria noastră infailibilitate."
