“Strictness to oneself joined with tenderness towards others, forms a truly excellent character. But for the most part, the man who is mild towards others, will be so towards himself, and he who is severe towards himself will be the same towards others; a character which is tender towards itself and severe towards others, is of all the most contemptible.” — Friedrich Schiller
