“When I'm feeling proud of myself, I should remember to ask myself why I think I am of any value at all. I have done nothing that a hundred thousand other people couldn't do, and most of them would probably do it better, and they probably wouldn't feel so self-important about it. I should always be ashamed of myself.” PeopleThinkingFeelsShouldImportantSelfDoneFeelingsRememberValuesAsksProudThousandHundredAshamedProud Of Myself Author:John S. Hall
“I was taught in the sixth grade that we had a standing army of just over a hundred thousand men and that the generals had nothing to say about what was done in Washington. I was taught to be proud of that and to pity Europe for having more than a million men under arms and spending all their money on airplanes and tanks. I simply never unlearned junior civics. I still believe in it. I got a very good grade.” MenBelieveStillsDoneMillionsTaughtArmsProudThousandHundredEuropeStandingArmyVery GoodSpendingPityGradesAirplaneBe ProudTanksJuniorsCivicsI Still BelieveSixth GradeGood Grades Author:Kurt Vonnegut
