To expect uniformity Of opinions in

To fail to make allowances for mex

Not 70 yield to unimportant triflcs.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedicd.
Not to help everybody. wherever.
however and whenever we can.
To consider anything impossible that
we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite mind
can grasp.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses Of others.
To estimate by some outside quality
