Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 with images, n.0006e (Nov. 6, 2016)
Four general maxims

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.
