Appreciate Quote by Basilea Schlink

“The proud think that their opinion alone is right. They cannot see the good points of others, as the humble do, and appreciate their opinions. That is why there is such disagreement, strife and quarrelling and even irrreconciliation in families and in other groups.” quote by Basilea Schlink
