  Bertrand Russell Quotes, e0006

Four general maxims, which will prove an adequate preventive of persecution mania if their truth is sufficiently realised.
The first is: remember that your motives are not always as altruistic as they seem to yourself.
The second is: don't over-estimate your own merits.
The third is: don't expect others to take as much interest in you as you do yourself.
And the fourth is: don't imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any special desire to persecute you.
 Source:The Conquest of Happiness, 1930, chap.8: Persecution mania.
