We live in this world

 in order always 

to learn industriously 

and to enlighten each other 

by means of discussion 

and to strive vigorously 

to promote the progress 

of science and the fine arts.

How sad it is 

that these great gentlemen should believe what anyone tells them 

and do not choose to judge for themselves! 

But it is always so.

Just as people behave to me, 

so do I behave to them.

I pay no attention whatever 

to anybody's praise or blame. 

I simply follow my own feelings.
