| gptkbp:famousQuote |
We are more concerned about our reputation with others than our conscience.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. We are all more or less the same. The only thing that can be said about the truth is that it is often painful. The mind is like a mirror; it reflects what it sees. |
