There is no one who would not rather appear to know than to be taught.

Caring for others over caring for yourself gets you out of your own self. But if caring for others becomes a source of pride, the self is strengthened and you're back to where you started.

Pride may be allowed to this or that degree, else a man cannot keep up his dignity.

Whoever envies another confesses his superiority.

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.

Richard Feynman
