The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person. ~Alexander Pope
When you descant on the faults of others, consider whether you be not
guilty of the same. To gain knowledge of ourselves, the best way is to
convert the imperfections of others into a mirror for discovering our
own. ~Henry Home
We should every night call ourselves to an
account: What infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passion opposed?
what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of
themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift. ~Seneca
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only
through action. Strive to do thy duty; then shalt thou know what is in
thee. ~ Goethe
Put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror. ~ Hippocrates
