Herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor,-all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked,-who is good? not that men are ignorant,-what is truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men.

Each of us really understands in others only those feelings he is capable of producing himself.

It is profound philosophy to sound the depths of feeling and distinguish traits of character. Men must be studied as deeply as books.

The best that can be said for anybody is probably that you misunderstood him favorably.

Many men honestly do not know what women want, and women honestly do not know why men find what they want so hard to comprehend and deliver.

One learns peoples through the heart, not the eyes or the intellect.

It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.

To understand is to forgive, even oneself.

If you do not understand a man you cannot crush him. And if you do understand him, very probably you will not.

Insight-the titillating knack for hurting!
