sethg (Seth A Gordon):
And as to the faculties of the mind ... I find yet a greater equality
amongst men, than that of strength.... That which may perhaps make
such equality incredible, is but a vain conceipt of ones owne wisdome,
which almost all men think they have in a greater degree, than the
Vulgar; that is, than all men but themselves, and a few others, whom
by Fame, or for concurring with themselves, may approve. For such is
the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to
be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly
believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own
wit at hand, and other mens at a distance. But this proveth rather
that men are in that point equall, than unequall. For there is not
ordinarily a greater signe of the equall distribution of any thing,
than that every man is contented with his share.
---Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Chapter XIII

therese (Therese):
Despair is the absolute extreme of self-love. it is reached when
a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else
in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost.
...But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble
man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity.
- Thomas Merton
