No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. There is no point at which you can say, 'Well, I'm successful now. There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth. There are no short cuts to any place worth going. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
