 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
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.
The fourth is: don't imagine that most people give enough thought to you to have any special desire to persecute you.
