Quote 33 of 40

From Emerson's Essays, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe it is the conviction of the purest men that the net amount
of man and man does not much vary.  Each is incomparably superior to
his companion in some faculty.  His want of skill in other directions
has added to his fitness for his own work.
