You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Carl Jung

Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
