“Good work is no done by "humble" men. It is one of the first duties of a professor, for example, in any subject, to exaggerate a little both the importance of his subject and his own importance in it.

This is not too difficult: it is harder not to make his subject and himself ridiculous by shutting his eyes too tightly.” ThinkingMenFirstsLittlesPersonsDoneEyeScienceDifficultSubjectsExampleDutyHard WorkDeserveImportanceHarderAskingHumbleRidiculousHis EyesProfessorsGood WorkDiscouragementRight PersonHumble Man Author:G.
