About This Quote
When we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct, we shall soon reach a very false conclusion. We will wrongly believe that what others think about us is more important than who we are ourselves. We will believe that people who act in certain ways are much more noble than those who act in other ways. We will come to see that the actions of others are far more important than our own, and that it’s not what someone else says or does that matters, but how they act.
