It remains for you to save one before saving others, to lead one before leading others.

About This Quote

It remains for you to save one before saving others, to lead one before leading others. This quote speaks of the ways in which we should act as people who are more concerned with self than others. The more that we demand that others act in certain ways, the more that we set ourselves up for disappointment when those people do not act as we wanted. We must be willing to demand of ourselves that we behave in certain ways, but at the same time, we must also be willing to ask ourselves if our actions are helping or hurting the lives of those around us.
