You will never be good as long as you think you are good. Anyhow, it is better to cry about spilt milk than to growl about it. The substitution of "we" for "I" is the beginning of culture. Three things are above the price of rubies: a clean body, a pure heart, and a clear brain. If you fear what people will say about what you say, you are apt not to say anything worth saying.
