Man is prone to think that he knows all about himself, but he does not. Likewise, he who would criticize or suggest assuming to judge for another would, if actually confronted with the other’s problems, doubtless find himself in a terrible quandry. The words of the sage, “Man know thyself,” we would do well to heed; also the saying, “Do not let the world set your destiny, do that yourself.”
– Emanuel B. “Sam” McDonald, in Sam McDonald’s Farm
