Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Forty Years Frankness is not a useful quality; and unfortunately I possess it, which fact has not contributed to make my life more smooth. But I have reached an age when the judgments of the crowd lose importance, and when one does not easily part with one´s own opinions. I have had friends, and I have made enemies; and whilst I care for the former, I never trouble about the latter. My experience of humanity has been varied; but I am thankful to be able to say that it has not embittered me, because I hold that if only one´s mind is made up not to expect too much from mankind, and to respect the selfishness which is the essential point in its general character, it is possible to get along most comfortably. It is in this consideration for the selfishness of one´s neighbours that one can find the best means of getting on in the world. One is always considered pleasant when one neither expects nor asks anything of anybody; and yet is willing to give without stint. If once this fact is recognised, one can afford to be amused at the kaleidoscopic spectacle which passes before the eyes of one who finds amusement in observing the hidden springs which move the marionettes of that large theatre called human life.
