“Every reasonable creature knows that the worst thing any creature can do all day is think of themselves. If there are troubles in your mind, you should think first of the troubles of others; it is the essence of liberation. That is, freedom begins the moment we forget ourselves.”
― Dave Eggers, The Eyes & the Impossible

“Then you shall pass judgement on yourself. That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you are truly a wise man.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

“One must command from each what each can perform. Authority is based first of all upon reason.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
