When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others

How strangely men act. They will not praise those who are living at the same time and living with themselves; but to be themselves praised by posterity, by those whom they have never seen or ever will see, this they set much value on.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.
